Love the Way You Love: Side A by Jamie S. Rich
Blurb for the back cover:
“A decent graphic novel”
Jamie S. Rich, who you may remember from this drunken photo, is the author of the graphic novel series Love the Way You Love. Originally it was released in six smaller comics and later compiled in to volumes containing three parts each. Side A contains the first three while Side B, which was recently released, features the latter three. It is illustrated by Marc Ellerby, who according to his bio in the back of the book, is 24.
Love the Way You Love is the story of Tristan and his band Like A Dog. Upon returning home from a trip, he spots a girl, Isobel, at the airport who he instantly falls in love with but completely and utterly fails to strike up a conversation with. As luck would have it, she appears again that evening at the Like A Dog show with her tall, dark, hansom and all around greedy fiancé, Marcus, in tow. Naturally, the only logical thing Tristan and Isobel can do is have an affair behind the fiancé’s back. Marcus, whop is head of a record company wants to sign Like A Dog and make as much money off of them as possible. Things get worse when Tristan rejects Marcus’s record offer against his band mates wishes and they stage a mutiny
Overall this is a decent graphic novel. Originally the three volumes were pretty slim and make for a quick reading. In this collection that combines the first three volumes, it feels much more substantial. My only real problem is with the two main characters Tristan and Isobel who I find to be slightly on the annoying side of things. Tristan comes off as pretentious as he constantly rejects the opportunities presented to him to help advance his career and ignores everybody else who is effected by his decision. Isobel with her “woe is me” routine tries to play the part of the victim as she tries to figure out what to do with the two guys who care about her. Although near the end of Side A she does finally start to figure stuff out. I hope that in Side B we get to see more of her personality. As is, she is much too quiet and reserved. The rest of the cast provide the humor and help move the plot along. They are the ones who are working behind Tristan and Isobel’s back to actually make things happen. I feel that they are the ones that hold this book together.
Since this book is strongly music themed, if you are a music fan you might get a little something extra out of the recommended soundtrack the comes along with this book. Scattered throughout the story are little black boxes that will tell you watch particular song goes well with the scene. For added immersion, you could theoretically listen to those songs while reading.
