Bone Orchard: Tenement by Jeff Lemire,

There are some perfect creative combinations in this world - the literally literary equivalent of peanut butter and jelly. This is a fine example of one, a writer and an artist that complement each other perfectly. In this case, strikingly enough, one outshines the other.

I've been a Lemire fan for a while now, admiring both his gift for storytelling and his creative versatility. I even like his art, when he does both for some of his books. And when he doesn't, he tends to find superb collaborators. But this one is above and beyond. Not just the artistry itself, but the panel work is simply the most original I've ever seen.

In this book, for me, the art was the main draw. Which is to say, I liked the overall plot very much - moody, creepy, and I'm crazy for apartment-based scares - but the actual characters and dialogue left me largely indifferent. So I was in it for the forest, not the trees. Overall, having read other Bone Orchard books, I'd say this isn't Lemire's strongest work.
But the art was stunning on every page, making this book an absolute feast for the eyes. Which makes this tenement well worth a visit.
