/co/, what is your opinion on Seconds? Endearing story or hipster melodrama?

I really liked it and thought it used the medium pretty well. Katie was a good protagonist that actually developed. Fight me.
>>
/co/ just hates Scott Pilgrim because it's popular with hipsters. It's actually a pretty good series.
Seconds was also great, and I agree with you OP.
>>
The dream sequences were pretty cool. Only read it once, so I'm not sure how I feel about the heavy use of metaphor and whether or not it was hamfisted.

Call me a faggot, but I really like his tumblr-shit art style.

I really liked Scott Pilgrim too just because of the last couple books, which destroys this perfect world-view Scott had for himself. He realizes he's been an asshole and that if he doesn't change, he's going to lose ANOTHER person who actually cares about him.

It was a nice story wrapped up in pretty fun dialogue, fights, and vidya.

Anybody read Lost at Sea? Always wanted to check it out.

>>81447693
I liked Scott Pilgrim. I even liked lost at sea. But Seconds was ass.
>>81447886
It probably helps if you're reading it as a depressed teenager.
>>
I thought it was good fun, though I don't remember too much about it besides a vague semblance of story, Hazel being a qt and Katie's butt.
>>
Not even hipster, O'Malley is mid 00s basic bitch-core, and you're a basic bitch for liking any of his stupid boring bullshit. Go listen to some chiptunes and Mumford and fuck off.
>>
>>81447596
I really dig O'Malley. I think all of his books have something good and unique about them. I borrowed the SP books from a friend and own Lost at Sea and Seconds. To be honest, I might give both a re-read because of this post.

>>81447886
Do it. I read it past the soul-searching teen phase which I think it would have been more eye-opening for but I still enjoyed it either way.

Better than Scott Pilgrim.

Scott Pilgrim is a really nice mix of levity and drama. I liked that most of the heavy stuff was weighted towards the second half, that way you just get wrapped up in all the fun and craziness.

Then you and Scott realize he was kind of an asshole.

Bryan was a very bitter person that hated himself and lashed out at everyone around him for petty reasons. He seems to have mellowed out since his divorce so I will probably give Snot Girl a read.
>>
i liked it but not as much as Lost at Sea or Scott Pilgrim. I loved all the little things that he snuck in, like Scott n Ramona and Vin Diesel n Paul Walker on dates there, or that a lot of the food is monster hunter themed (especially when there's hella skeletons working there)

and, of course, hazel is top tier delicious brown girl waifu material.

Read it as an agsty teen and loved it.

I was a big fan of Scott Pilgrim because I read the books one after another as a teenager. Seconds and Lost At Sea I both read in single sittings at a bookstore. I can remember enjoying Seconds for what it was, though I wasn't a big fan of Katie. Lost At Sea was a good read, but I wish it was longer -- that way we could've learned more about the other characters.

That's one of the things I love about O'Malleys work, are those big cut-away spreads. For example, the first time we see the restaurant and you have a view of every room in the building, with all the employees and customers doing their own things.

Seconds was a pretty damn comfy read.

I didn't even know he was married at some point.

Katie was good in some traits but a complete idiot in others. The fact that by the end of the story she gets all she wanted without really facing consequences bugged me. But not that much. And I hated his ex. Don't know even why.
However I'm excited for his next project which will feature pic related.

Same. It felt like the message of the story was lost because she faced no reppurcussions. "I went on this journey, did some soul searching and now that I've grown I'm going to change my life! Except... I don't have to do any work because everything worked out the way I wanted anyways. Cool." I see someone else stalks his twitter. I wonder what she's going to be used for, she's qt

I liked SP, but this was really fucking bad. It was basically a story about a girl who does the wrong thing and gets a happy ending

For sure, the ending would've bugged me too but the overall tone of the story was pretty lighthearted so I thought it was a natural progression of events. Katie still suffered through a decent amount of mental trauma, and I thought the payoff for it was more or less fair. I might be recalling it incorrectly, but from what I remember it isn't as if the story ended with her getting everything she wanted. More that things weren't so bad and that she should just keep moving forward. The whole point of Seconds was to stop dwelling in the past, and the ending showed that Katie had a future to look forward to.
>>
>>81448844
Prior to the ending it wasn't so bad. I thought it was a cool read.
>>
>>81448879

I cant really remember because I read it so long ago - I think it had something to do with how she treated Andrew and the fact she was able to open up the second shop and it was successful off the bat. (Not even sure if I'm remembering that correctly)
>>
>>81449062
To be fair, that ending was a jump forward a few years in the future. I agree with you in that the ending should've been cut a little shorter. There was a scene beforehand with Katie and Andrew where they talk what they're going to do next and that would have been a great stopping point. The whole "It's the future and I'm successful and happy" ending was a bit trite.

One of the things I enjoy the most about all of Bryan's works is that cast of characters we get. The SP cast was large but everyone interacted like good friends, and Seconds had a cast of coworkers that were more or less able to joke around with each other. The kids from Lost At Sea seemed pretty interesting too. I hope Bryan does another series rather than a standalone soon, that way we can keep a cast around and get more time with them.

Yeah, the cast is one of his strong point. I might be in the minority but I also like his style. The dresses he choses gives a hipsterish vibe that I actually find enjoyable
>>
>>81450307

He seems to have a thing for standoffish hipster girls. Is that what his ex looked like, or something?
>>
I liked Scott Pilgrim, I liked Seconds. Haven't read Lost At Sea yet. It's way too early for me to really judge since we know literally nothing about his new book other than what the main character looks like, but I don't really dig her based on that. Getting a lot of twatty, holier-than-thou, fashionista vibes from the look of her. I see enough of these attention depraved shedevils on social media already, don't really want to read a book about one of them, especially so if it's a slice-of-life book with no supernatural/spectacular elements. So I guess I'll just wait and see! My stomach curdles a little every time I see her pop up on my instagram feed though.

Said it earlier, but the story would've worked a lot better if it ended without the last scene where you see her super successful. That felt kinda fanservicey. If it left her in a positive place but still unsure of the future, that would've been a great way to tie everything up in a neat bow.

On a somewhat related note, I imagine O'Malley could actually do well with a Telltale-style game. Seems like both his artistic and narrative tone are a perfect fit for that storytelling medium.

>>81451848

A lot of /co/mrades don't like Scott Pilgrim because it was babby's first graphic novel for a lot of people. It didn't really get popular until its later installments and the movie. Then a bunch of idiots who had never heard of graphic novels raced to Hot Topic and Newbury Comics to buy whatever looked cool on their tiny shelves.

Some /co/mrade wrote about meeting O'Malley at some con. Basically went out to eat with them and O'Malley broke down. His wife basically decided to go full stronk indie wummin who don't need no man, became the village bike, and O'Malley was just fucking crushed.

It's not necessarily a bad thing. He's pretty transparent about the whole thing. As long as he doesn't keep doing mopey melodrama he can only grow from his experiences. So I hope he finds his next inspiration.

I feel mixed about the ending. I like that Katie got a happy end and grew from it but I didn't like how it was handled and probably would have preferred a different form of a happy ending where she still has some hefty consequences to accept.

Bryan Lee O'Mally was on a new level with his art though. The use of space and page design was really nice and I like that he got someone to help him draw the food instead of taking it on his own. People shit on the whole manga assistant thing but it helped.

Overall I feel no strong feelings towards Seconds.
>>
>>81460699
The full page spreads with the tree branches were some of the most gorgeous uses of negative space I've seen.

Totally on board with the ending. It felt a little TOO nice. I think that might have been a result from O'Malley's personal life though, because soon after he published the book he and his wife (the inspiration for Scott Pilgrim) divorced.

Like another anon said, it might just be wish fulfillment on his part. As a person, I totally empathize with him, but as an artist I think a stronger choice would have been to cut the time jump out and leave the ending with Andrew (?) and Katie talking again.

I get /co/'s hate of Scott Pilgrim, but being the target demographic at its release I read it and it was absolutely life-affirming at the time. I loved it and still do.

I've even had it out with poser teens who thought it was written for them around the time the movie came out, because that's how big a hipster I am. I don't give a shit if you hate me for it. I'm proud of it.

I didn't get why the book was called seconds till a friend pointed out the restruant was actually named seconds because the food was so good people always ordered seconds, and here I thought it was called that because it's second chance story.

O'Malley's style is fucking great. It's very unique and blends cartoony and animeish very well. Nothing else looks like it. And he's improved so much. Even if Seconds sucked it would have been worth it for the art alone.

I hate Scott Pilgrim because I never bothered with it until the movie came out and it was being marketed as a wacky video-game laden funventure

So it left a sour taste in my mouth when I picked it up and instead it was the story of a hipster douche with a shitty love life.
>>
>>81471305
>>81471305
the thing about scott pilgrim is that its "video game nods" were always very light in the book
it wasnt ever really RIGHT in your face
just subtle here and there things

(defeating an evil ex would turn them into coins or animals like sonic or scotts extra life)

i dont even think omalley intended on it being so important or a focal point as the directors saw it to be

either way its too bad scott pilgrim hit you at the wrong time. that book found me right when i needed it most (around 2013). my first introduction to it was the color editions that had a great smell and feel to them. now they are forever linked to a nostalgic feeling that i can get right back when i smell the books.

I quite liked it and of the three people I've shared the story with, they all seem to like it as well. The only critique I feel worth mentioning from one is the art style though aesthetically pleasing, it does sometimes act to reduce the gravity and darkness of the scenes on occasion.

Good character and short story.

>>81447693
This is not true. You can easily find vocal groups that hate anything /co/ the internet, and there are several other /co/mrades I know which don't hate the Scott Pilgrim series.

Sigh, seriously people, don't let other people enjoying something be the reason you dislike it, even if those other people can be really insufferable and annoying. Just be better than them, like we like to think we are.

Besides, Kim Pine was kinda hot.

SNOTGIRL

>New York Times bestselling writer Bryan Lee O’Malley teams up with artist Leslie Hung, colorist Mickey Quinn, and letterer/designer Maré Odomo for SNOTGIRL, a dark comedy set in the world of fashion bloggers.

>“Snotgirl is funny and f*cked up,” O’Malley warned. “It’s full of fascinating characters you’ll love to hate. Leslie’s art is lush and beautiful.”

>Lottie is a huge success—she’s blog famous! Her online persona is flawless and fun, but her real life is filled with woes. She has terrible allergies, she just got dumped, and her blogger friends don’t understand her. Things turn around when Lottie instantly clicks with Caroline, a new girl on the scene… but can she turn chemistry into friendship, or will she ruin everything?

>Hung added: “This is my first ongoing series, so I’m really excited. Snotgirl is going to be the best comic ever, if we don’t die making it!”
