10_ Reading the Multimodal Narrative

    First at all, this comic is totally different compare to what I used to read in my whole life. And also the American type of comic style sometime make me struggle to read. But this one is so special, when I open the first page I thought it is just a illustration sketches book, or just a rough script before refine and publish. but the authors seems like meant to keep this sketchy style for this story. And also the notebook's ring hole keep making me believe it just a scan version from author's sketchbook, still can see many author's thought and figure sketch in some pages. This one is so special in nowadays, authors make the style stand out and just like a personal art works.
    My favorite thing for this graphic novel is about the main character Karen who loves monster movies, magazine and everything about monster. I definitely like the character setting, she sees herself as a wolf girl and she has a lot of things going around her and this really is playing with this child perspective of adult themes, struggles etc. Real stuff that's happening in the world like war, child abuse eventually the book turns into a murder mystery because her upstairs neighbor is found dead and they presume it is suicide but she has to discover who actually killed her cuz she doesn't believe that it was suicide.  But I'm not sure I like the ending or not, because nothing really get resolved at the end... I heard that there's a second book about to coming, maybe I'll read it when I finish my thesis.
