Bipolar #4

It’s just great to see a series like this unfold. Every issue is stronger than the one before and it’s hard not to imagine great things for these two. The one complaint that I have, and I’ll get it out of the way before I start gushing: typos! I know it’s being translated from Hebrew and all, and I don’t pretend to understand what a complicated process that is. But having something look this smart and well put together coupled with typos and misplaced usage of “your” and “you’re”…. well. it’s unnecessary. Anyway, this one continues the fascinating Kamikaze story and I’m not going to ruin anything about it because it’s coming to a close in the next issue. If you’re not already reading it, it’s one of the best serialized stories going. The first half of the book is about a man stuck in a hospital in Morocco. He spends his time remembering his life and wondering what might have been, but the story isn’t anywhere near as cheesy as I made it out to be. Look, I’m sold on this series. If you don’t want to buy something that you’ve never heard of, get to a decent comics shop near you and read part of an issue in the store or something. Whatever it takes, I think you should give this book a shot…
