Michael VanCalbergh Reviews Michael Deforge’s ‘Holy Lacrimony’ for The Comics Beat

From The Comics Journal’s This Week In Links is this great review from The Comics Beat.


Some reviews are difficult because the material is difficult to explain. Holy Lacrimony is a bit difficult to explain and experiencing it is probably best, but this isn’t why I’m having difficulty. Some reviews are harder to situate in the moment, they’re less obviously prescient which is also true of Michael DeForge’s newest book. But, again, this isn’t why I struggled with this review. And the book does feel timely, though time is a hell of a thing right now. This review was hard because, sometimes, you just love an artist so much that you finish one of their books and say to yourself, “Yes. This was good.” The thoughts stop there. It hit the spots you knew it would and you feel satiated. That’s where I am with Holy Lacrimony.
