![]() ![]() Indeed, when Brian finally adopts his persona “the Coelacanth” – originating from the misinterpretation over a rock band badge he has sown onto his hoodie – the ensuing action scenes lack the character-driven charm of the intimate moments that bookend this volume. This is a book that will probably appeal to fans of non-superhero comics the teen drama elements of Brian & Bobbi play a larger part than the superhero shenanigans. Franco Viglino’s work bears the occasional inconstancy that marks a fledgling artist’s work, but his illustrations are clean, appealing and convey the story adeptly. Bobbi, who exploits her inherent haughtiness and unfeasibly short skirt to get boys to complete her school work, is one of the most dislikeable comic protagonists I’ve encountered in some time though by this book’s final pages it’s apparent that such a reaction is writer Adam Wilson’s intention. ![]()
