Todo abruma
Un inteligentísimo retrato de vidas cruzadas, al estilo de Magnolia: 10 personajes en busca de un sentido, cuyas historias se entrecruzan de manera inesperada. Un hombre no puede decidir entre dos camisas para una boda. Un modelo de dibujo al natural se plantea dejar el modelaje. Una mujer se cuestiona la elección de sus nuevas gafas. Un hombre entra en un banco de niebla mientras conduce y no sabe cómo regresar a casa. Dash Shaw convierte la duda en torno a las decisiones cotidianas en emocionantes momentos de suspenso, y captura con humor y ansiedad la esencia de la vida, en una estructura única que se pliega hacia un desenlace lírico y emocionante. Todo abruma reafirma a Shaw como uno de los grandes historietistas contemporáneos.

Fluye y a la vez como que te impregna. Al acabar da ganas de volver a leerlo. Uno de los mejores cómics de mi biblioteca.

Sencillo a la par que humano. Rutinas que se entrelazan con un hilo conductor común: todo abruma.
