Low moon

“Low Moon” is a collection of short stories of various topics. Pain, suicide, a chess western, and family. obligations. By far the darkest of these tales is “Emily says hello.” But your despair will be fleeting because the follow-up, “Low Moon” is quirky and fun. It is a chess western if you can believe the combo. I enjoyed this story and Jason showed an uncharacteristic light heart when writing it. The collection closes up with “You are here” which screams as a typical Jason comic. Minimalistic dialog, anthropomorphic characters, and a story that will rip your heart out and ground it into the ground. Overall, this is a good collection of graphic novel short stories. It just isn't great. Aside from “Low Moon” there isn't anything here I would like to read again unlike many of Jason's other works such as “I Killed Adolph Hitler” or “Hey, wait!” If you are a Jason aficionado like myself, give it a read. Otherwise, pass on it.
