Status Updates From Postal, Vol. 1

Conflicted. On the one hand, non-criminal in a town of criminals trying to solve crimes. On the other hand, this is quite dark and cruel, especially to the aforementioned non-criminal (and also a little skeptical of the portrayal of an ASD person)

Mark : Why did you kill my sister?
His father : She looked like your mother. And this world has enough girls.

DUDE. WHAT. THE. FUCK??? 💀

Thoughts after reading issues #3&4:
- Mark is a genius! And his narration is so poetic I love it!
- Mark’s mother is a tricky one. It’s hard to tell if she really cares or not. I think that actually makes her character more compelling.
- Yay! Justice for Maggie! Well, semi-justice with the blackmail.
- Noooo! Don’t go over to the dark side Mark! There’s that descent into darkness I was talking about before.

Thoughts after reading issues #1&2:
- The Aspergers representation is fantastic and very poetically explained.
- “I just wanted to do something nice.” Mark started off so nice and I feel like this is the beginning of his descent into darkness as he wakes up to the cruel reality of the world.
- “I can tell you but it’ll hurt.” “I’m used to the way you hurt me, mom.” Oof right in the feels with that one.
