Life Stories
Keeping Two #1 and #2
Creator: Jordan Crane
$2 and 38 pages each
So? Comics are best known for the bombastic drama of superheroes, but they also can do quiet drama. Crane's story is actually three different stories told in various orders through flashbacks of everyday arguments, regrets and loss. In one, a couple argues over driving; in another an expectant couple loses their child; and in the third the absence of a deceased pet is strongly felt. The art is simple and effective at capturing the individual moments that make up everyday life. The result is a very intimate, simple comic that feels like a found chapter from the life of a distant relative.
