I would have liked this better if it was in color. The black and white adds to the bleak tone. Yet it is full of intense feeling. I liked the way he drew Raina, and the sexy parts. I started out disliking Blankets, (disclaimer: graphic novels aren't my thing, but I can appreciate them), but then I liked it when Craig went to stay with Raina for two weeks, that's when I got into it. It's a coming-of-age GN.
