I'm starting to get customer reviews on my latest comic book, Legend of the Mind, and most all are great, but I did get my first 2 star. Here is what was said:
'This was a tough one for me - the pictures, drawings, and coloring were really beautiful and obviously well done. The story ... just wasn't for me, it simply didn't make any sense'.

To me, this was a compliment.....
The book is dedicated to Philip K. Dick and influenced by his writing. If you know anything about PKD, his books are all about realities that don't make sense and may or may not be real. It's like a dream, it flows from one idea into the next freely, which is how the lead character's perception works. It is dreampunk and its purpose is to question 'what is reality', and is this real or a dream or something else?
So, saying the book doesn't make sense is actually a compliment. You see, David himself does not know if he is dreaming, on a bad trip, in a hologram, or perhaps he is just crazy, or perhaps everyone else is crazy. If I was able to capture his madness by the reader feeling the same thing, touche.
The book also is clearly targeting PKD fans and those who have read his books. For that crowd, the book makes absolutely complete 'sense'. It would be an added bonus for the non-PKD fans to enjoy it as well, but I'm sure it won't be everyone's cup of martian-fnickjuice.
