unfortunately 1 star docked because I found the art to be almost unbearably ugly. Amazing!ĭespite the admirably naked emotion on display, all of the intelligence and creativity, the brilliance of Trillium's design. We follow their separate but linked narratives panel by panel, one atop the other (you literally have to turn the comic upside down to read the bottom narrative), one starting when the other is ending, the separate panels commenting on the panel above or below. The design is brilliant, with the pièce de résistance being the central issue, where time is started anew and characters trade places. Science fiction and alternate timelines, done darkly. Narrative winding and collapsing in upon itself, turned inside out. If you like love stories, this still may not be for you. If you don't like love stories, avoid this. Trillium is above all things a love story. If you like a little Gaudi, a little Sarah Winchester, a lot of whimsy, a folly disguised as a building, hallways crooked and doors that resist opening and when they do, sometimes lead to nowhere. If you like straightforward constructions, architecture that is pleasing to the eye and that makes sense, a building that is not pretending to be anything other than a building, hallways straight and doors easily opened.
