My Brain Hurts, Volume One
A Young Adult, Glbt, Graphic Novels Comics book. Yes, like Ariel Schrag in tone, sort of. I couldn't help...
A group of teenage queer punks get in perpetual trouble with the police when they aren't flirting over loud music or postering their high school with flyers to allow same sex couples at prom. It's like they were your actual high school peers - pissing off the administration and taking care of each other when they get beat up by skinheads. Liz Baillie has a real talent for dialogue, characters, storytelling, and capturing New York - especially those moments that we all live, awkwardly making out, pulling pranks, and drinking beer. This graphic novel collects the first five (out of 10) issues of the comic My Brain Hurts.

Her drawing style reminds me a lot of Diane DiMassa and the writing has a similar vibe to Ariel Schrag, except a little more urban punk. I think the characters and the plot are believable and move forward with good pacing. It would be a good graphic novel for a teenager going through coming out. The only downside is that... Yes, like Ariel Schrag in tone, sort of. I couldn't help but feeling like this was a book written about punks by someone who was not a punk. But, that's hard for me to say. Maybe teenage punks just have the same lame concerns as the rest of us.But basically, a little boring, a little ok-for-teens-with-sexuality-figuring-out, and one...
