Blink

“Blink: So Far” is the first graphic novel of Max Ink’s acclaimed comic book series, “Blink.” The comic is not so much a story but a conversation between friends. There’s no “origin story” of the 20-something best buddies main characters, Blink and Sam. Life doesn’t work like that. Neither does “Blink.” It’s “real life on the printed page.” Each of the nine stories in this collection offer brief glimpses into the lives of Blink and Sam and their new-found friend, Hank as they hang out in coffee shops and parks in Columbus, Ohio, having conversations about childhood innocence, music, poetry, crossword puzzles and inane corporate training excersizes. This is the perfect “slice-of-life” comic—beautifully illustrated, thoughtfully created, and has characters you’ll want to meet again and again.
