Here's another minicomic from the backlog. Once again, it's from my favorite minicomic subgenre: Geeky autobiographical comics.
Title: SXSW 2010: A Comic Synopsis
Publisher: Brew For Breakfast
Date: 2010
Writer: Nomi Kane
Artist: Nomi Kane
Lovely string-bound minicomic about the artist's trip to the 2010 SXSW festival in Austin TX with her parents.
A twelve-page minicomic can't really do the gigantic festival justice, but the artist includes a nice sampling of the musical acts she got to see (Smokey Robinson was the only name that I recognized, but it looked like a pretty eclectic mix of musical styles), plus some of the general mayhem of the festival. The "shuttle of shame" was amusing as was the discussion of the physics involved in weatherproofing a mowhawk.
Nomi Kane ends the comic by saying she'll be heading back in 2011. Hopefully there is a 2011 minicomic version of her adventures out there.
Rating: 7.5/10
