The New York Five (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

Brian Wood creates a hipster ode to New York that is very much an artifact of its time and place. The musical references are solid, the landmarks diverse, the social situations universal. I'm pretty far removed, both from college and being a privileged white girl in NYC, but it all resonates with a sense of "yeah... been there"... at least in spirit.I'm actually most interested in how female readers view this work (and the previous, New York Four) if it is all a sympathetic and believable view of young women... because once again, it is written by a guy. Where are the women writing works like these? That's what I want to know. Kinda wish this and the first book New York Four had all been one, or that this had come out as a Minx book as originally intended. the art in the last issue wasn't as good as the previous installments, either, I'm guessing due to the rush of deadlines (Jim Rugg came in and inked some of the pages, I'm guessing to help Ryan Kelly out). But it's a good conclusion to the previous story of NY4 and worth reading if you liked that book.

What do You think about The New York Five (2011)?

Kind of rushed, disjointed, and confusing. Great characters and great drawing, though.
