American Born Chinese 1

There is definitely more to this novel than goofy comics. Even though that is what keeps this interesting to read. The tale of second-generation immigrants could normally be a harrowing and serious story to tell. However, this adds a very fresh, almost modernized spin on the story of immigration and assimilation to American culture.
Although I can analyze the text like any other blogpost I have done, the sketches are JUST as important in this case. The artwork, like the picture I attached, is very appealing to me. It gives a traditional Chinese art vibe, mixed with an urban feel that a Gorillaz album or Comme Des Garcons lookbook would give aesthetically. Even the downtrodden shots like Jin with a new perm are just eye popping.
My only huge complaint, is that I really cannot relate to the struggles and issues that (especially) The Monkey King and the others face. However, it is still a very colorful, and unique read.
