Book Reviews of Korgi, Vol. 1
Book Review: Charming, But for a Niche Audience
Summary: 4 Stars
Let me start off by saying I absolutely adore animals, especially the ones with a wet nose & wagging tail/stump: meaning I am a member of said niche audience. If you don't care much for woofum, I highly doubt you'll enjoy this silly, whimsical tale.
The story is told solely through imagery, without a single word. It invokes the wonder of the innocent child within you as your eyes explore the pages. Always lush, intricate, soft, & alive, displaying a world alternately warm & frightening, the artist's history with Disney shows. (FYI: the art is in astute black & white.)
A young girl named Ivy & her mythical corgi Sprout (I say 'mythical' for a reason) explore the magical, ethereal world around them. The story is as simple & complex as that. Abstract & symbolic, it never intends to be heady or philosophical; there is no true violence, drama, comedy, or romance; & this lack of concrete substance is why Korgi will only ever be treasured by a few, at least in the realm of hardened adults. Basically, if you're searching for Watchmen 2, this is not the place to look. (Though I'm sure you've guessed that already by the looks of the cover.)
None the less, Korgi is a cuddly little comic, a fluffy fantasy filled with sweetness for all ages. I've found that whenever I'm having a rough day, a short flip through this cute, timeless adventure adds some sugar to my outlook. It achieves what is set out to achieve: charm.
3.5 stars rounded up because I'm nice & because for its audience it's a sparkling star.
Another lovely, loving tribute to man's best friend a la comic---albeit far darker---that I highly, highly recommend is Nick Abadzis' 'Laika.' If you have a soul, I guarantee you'll be tearing up by the deeply moving end.
