#3490 Montero - The Loving Gaze

3/5 god, when it hits it hits, sweeping and overwhelmingly beautiful. but messy, uneven in general, crutchsomely experimental. And save yourself, because once you associate this with Ben Montero's beautiful/cloying/cute/nightmarish comics it all has a twee stink on it that undercuts any attempts at connection, an insidious one-third blindered irony that's hard to get past. And maybe that's on me, but this kind of weird pillowed awe just doesn't meet me halfway
