IndyComicReview reviews Shuteye #3 on Deathbed
From IndyComicReview.com, which is about to shut down forever:
"There is an elegance in simplicity at work in Shuteye. I couldn't help but feel drawn into the story because of it. There was no massive suspension of disbelief required of me as a reader, the characters were immediately accessible (there are certainly aspects of both I can easily relate to), and the setting starts off direct enough.
As the story unfolded, it became even more of a reflection of relationship experience of my own. This isn't a piece of writing that I would assume was written just for me. Like a good Bob Dylan song, it was open enough that I was able to paste myself between the lines.
This may be a little too quiet and pastoral for some readers, so I can't say I'd recommend it to everyone. That said, it's a really solid creation and it was an absolute joy to read - to connect with this vignette, these characters, and their situation.
If only all the simple ones were this punchy..."
