Description:
Elle Peterssen is young, wealthy, and beautiful - and there is a reason someone tried to kill her. Only, Elle doesn't remember any of this.
Mind the Gap, the new series by the Eisner Award-winning writer JIM McCANN (Return of the Dapper Men), is a mystery with a paranormal twist.
Elle, in a spirit form detached from her comatose body, must not only unravel the mystery of her attacker's identity and motive but her entire life as well.
Who can she trust, in both this word and in the gap she exists in that lies between life and death? Filled with twists and turns, Elle's life isn't the only one turned upside down by the attack on her life.
Deceit, secrets, and hidden agendas are everywhere in a story where everyone is a suspect, and no one is innocent.
Rating: 5 stars
Review:
I was hooked the minute I started reading this, the first five issues of Mind the Gap were engaging. I love how the story unfolds, it follows the mystery surrounding an attack on 20-something New Yorker Elle Peterssen who was left in a coma. While her body resides in bed, her spirit is in a middle or gray area as she tries to sort through who she is (she can't remember) or what happened to her.
As the mystery is revealed, there seems to be some sort of conspiracy going but this isn't a typical mystery it's quite complex with a lot of twists and turns with a slightly sci-fi angle.
The writing for this was very good and it really has me interested in reading the second volume because I want to know who attack Ellie and what's really going on. Oh, and I love the color and artwork they were simply beautiful.
