Emma MMF: Johanna Draper Carlson
Johanna Draper Carlson of Comics/Manga Worth Reading submitted the first of of least two (and what is shaping up to be three) Emma links for the MMF — her review of the ‘main run’ of Emma, vols. 1-7:
“The book is a wonderful portrayal of what it might have been like to live in another place and time… and isn’t that the magic of comics of any kind? Showing us someone else’s experience in detail, even if fictional?…
The first two books were less about what happened and more about the exploration of another society and the kind of people who found themselves within it. Later books continue to build the full cast, and secrets cause relationships to change quickly.
…
Anyone who’s read Emma can’t help be affected by the struggles of the two leads to accomplish something so simple: being in love.”
