Dropping "Snotgirl"

After reading the latest issue of Bryan Lee O'Malley/Leslie Hung's "Snotgirl", I think I'm going to drop it as a monthly purchase and wait for the trade paperbacks from now on. Normally I wait for an arc to end before dropping a title (like I did with "Injection") but with three more issues to go at 2.99 a clip, it would still be around the same price to buy the issues collected at 9.99 per book.

Leslie Hung's art is beautiful but the storyline just hasn't grabbed me like I thought it would, and its meandering plot would be better served reading all at once.

Snotgirl #1

When I went in to pick up the Plutona Trade Paperback and the latest Usagi Yojimbo Collection, I saw the first issue of Snotgirl with artwork by Bryan Lee O'Malley.  Though the story line (of a girl who is a Dazzling Fashion Blogger online but a Hay-Fevered Runny-Nosed Insecure girl in real life) intrigued me, I'm not a big fan of O'malley's art, and so passed it up. Only when I got home I found out O'Malley wasn't the interior artist, and the girl they got to do inside illustrations was Leslie Hung, someone who absolutely EXCELS in drawing beautiful gals!!! I also found that the O'Malley cover I saw was a variant, and that the real cover was done by Hung herserf, and so I made a mad rush BACK to the comic store to pick it up!!! As you can see, it.is.freaking.beautiful!!!
Interesting story so far, we'll see if this one goes anywhere...
