 | | Such is the case with Blink #1, first of a planned trilogy, with a story featuring several interlocking characters - a butcher, parapsychology researcher, and porn star (!) - plus themes and plot lines elaborate enough to take a master of the art form like Alan Moore to carry off. |
 | | But one of the highlights of the comic follows, a sequence detailing Marty, the butcher's, attempts to concentrate on a book during a train ride, while passengers on cell phones, their banal blather well captured, and the scraping of one filing her fingernails, distract maddeningly. |
 | | Although McShane's approach to comics may seem visually primitive, this simplicity can be deceptive, as it is used skillfully to elevate the work into a complex, evocative and (yes) gripping read. |
