Keepers. Moore A.

You do not have to be an enthusiast of mass culture in order to understand the first twenty pages that the “Keepers” are an example of high, very high art; And what will happen at the next twenty... It is not surprising that it is this novel that is more often than others on the upper line in the lists of “comics for people who do not read comics”.

Almost on every page from under you, it is as if they knocked out a chair; icon painting, figures moving in the frame of the windows, illuminated by otherworldly light - that is what it looks like; And it is amazing how many subtle things can be conveyed by these drawings, how exactly the irony can be broadcast - well, basic feelings, of course: fear, compassion, love, despondency.

The meaning is that... such a comic as “Keepers” is a very special way, looking terribly fresh to tell stories. And this is precisely literature, in no way, for example, painting... This is a novel that expands the idea of ​​literature in general, about its capabilities - and abilities for transformation. And this is a radical update, major repairs, the most outstanding genre mutation over the past decades.
