The climax involves all 6 people in the same room, but it doesn't feel forced - the reader is led gradually to a place where it makes sense for them to all be there.  Anyway.

    <body><![CDATA[This is an excellent graphic novel about a number of people whose lives converge in both ordinary and extraordinary ways. It strikes me as a story that works much better in a graphic novel format than it would have as a conventional novel, which is great because I enjoy seeing stories that are clear...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15566843">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My second graphic novel, Tricked, was recommended to me by a dear librarian friend. This book is like reading a TV drama/comedy on Fox. It has 6 characters, some of which you immediately like, others you hate, which eventually come together in a terrific climatic moment.  It was a fun read but still...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4712124">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this maybe slightly less than Box Office Poison, but the characters are still great in the sense that they act the people you have been led to believe they are, if that makes sense. I also find it satisfying in a kind of &quot;people get what they deserve&quot; way, so if that appeals to you...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25215630">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a very long graphic novel. It is full of characters (many very unlikable) whose lives twists and turns and intersect in interesting ways. <br/><br/>It was fun too read, but predictable. It reminded me of a long Hollywood movie with an ensemble cast. Lightweight, entertaining, but I wouldn'...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34366844">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A worthy follow-up to Box Office Poison, and in some ways much better. It's certainly tighter, and you can tell was written in one &quot;sitting&quot; instead of over several years and formats. I imagine the Tricks to be a stand-in for the Replacements, although I have absolutely nothing to base tha...]]></body>
