Remender, Azaceta, Lopes, "Siostry Seasons", tom pierwszy i tom drugi

Zawsze jest pora na "Siostry Seasons"! A przynajmniej mnie tak wychodzi po zapoznaniu się z dwoma tomami tego niezwykle oryginalnego komiksu!
Niby jego poszczególne komponenty są dobrze znane, ale niebanalnie zestawione i zmiksowane tak, że wychodzi coś tak przepysznego jak różowy (wegański xD) shake bananowo-truskawkowy!
Bo to i psychodeliczna dziewczyńska i retro przygodówka i odjechana horroro-baśń dla starych starszaków, czyli dorosłych xD A jednocześnie dramat o kryzysie rodzinnym, trudnych relacjach z jej członkami. Zaś na samej górze tego kilkuwarstwowego kolorowego tortu warstwa wieńcząca jak bita śmietana z owocami, czyli refleksja nad demonami naszych współczesnych czasów, czyniących z wielu nas zombie niewolniczo wpatrzone w... no właśnie, w co? Czytajcie, a znajdziecie odpowiedź.

To historia tytułowych sióstr, których rodzina się rozpadła w wyniku tajemniczego zniknięcia rodziców, a także piekielnego wesołego miasteczka, które zjeżdża pewnego dnia w ich strony i wywraca los wszystkich, którzy się z nim zetknęli do góry nogami. Od pierwszych stron tomu pierwszego poczułam się zaangażowana i zaintrygowana. Bo i ta retro kreska i stylistyka Azacety, i szalone psychodeliczne kolory jakby Lopes był pod wpływem uwielbianych przez hippisów substancji xD - to wszystko razem wciągnęły mnie jak w wir to odjechane uniwersum. Złowrogi cyrk i jaskrawe kolory będące przykrywką dla mroku i delirycznych wizji.

Bardzo mi się to wszystko kojarzy ze Stephenem Kingiem i wymuskanymi, mocno estetyzowanymi filmami Wesa Andersona (połączcie ich razem, a dostaniecie ten komiks xD). Do tego ta retro dziewczyńska mocno pop-artowa stylistyka. Od razu widzę amerykańską popkulturę przełomu lat 50. i 60. Z tymi landrynkowymi kolorami, gumami balonowymi, strojami i koktajlami z owocami. Gdy myślę o tym komiksie, to w ogóle przychodzą mi do głowy cukiernicze metafory. Torty, muffiny, bezy czy makaroniki (pewna cukiernia ma w nim zresztą do odegrania swoją rolę!)

Trochą jakby Roy Lichtenstein zrobił rysunki. Bardzo mi pasuje ten vintage'owy sznyt!

W tomie drugim znowu dużo się dzieje. Są mordercze pościgi, spektakularne ucieczki, akrobatyczne skoki, ostra jazda na motocyklu. Najmłodsza Spring nadal gra pierwsze skrzypce i trochę więcej przestrzeni dostaje Winter. A wesołe miasteczko nawet Spring wodzi na pokuszenie... Na koniec niezły plot twist, który będzie mocnym otwarciem tomu trzeciego...

No mnie się podobało, mimo, że scenariusz sam w sobie nie jest jakiś niezwykle powalający, ale ta energia, osobliwość, psychodelia, oldskul i żarówiaste kolorki bardzo mi przypasowały!.
A także to że siostrzeńska szajka kopie niegodziwym wesołym ludkom tyłki xD Od "Paper Girls" nie czytałam takiej fajnej i żywiołowej dziewczyńskiej serii!

No to czekam na trójkę, popijając różowego szejka!

Za tom drugi dziękuję wydawnictwu Nagle Comics.

The weird carnival continues. People are becoming addicted to looking into magic mirrors that show them living their best lives while in fact they are wasting away. An obvious metaphor for smartphones?

Rick Remender and Paul Azaceta’s *The Seasons* continues its dark fairytale exploration of fame, obsession, and sisterhood, and Volume 2 delivers more of the same atmospheric, Lynch-meets-Miyazaki vibes.

I’ll be honest: the story didn’t fully click for me this time. The themes are intriguing and the tone stays unsettling in a good way, but the plot felt a bit thinner and less gripping than I hoped. It never quite pulled me in the way the premise suggested it would.

What *does* carry the book is the art. Paul Azaceta’s work is excellent, and Mat Lopes’ colors are genuinely stunning—rich, moody, and full of personality. The visuals are easily the strongest part of the experience and elevate every page.

If you’re mostly here for the striking artwork and dreamlike aesthetic, you’ll probably enjoy this volume. If you’re primarily after a tight, compelling story, it might leave you a little cold. Solid, but not quite a standout for me.

Fun, creative, and a quick read. Seasons is a good series if you are looking for something unique but also just a breeze to read. I will guess to say that Remender did not want to make some elaborate read but stuck to his creative wheelhouse and made a good story.

volume 2 is still fun and Spring is trying to convince Winter to help her find autumn. Guess what Spring finds Autumn and her parents but it does come out as planned. No spoilers but the sisters are getting caught and released in an unpredictable fashion. In the end Spring gets some bad ass garb and starts kicking ass. Winters take a turn for the worse, to be continued. If I had one wish it would have been a better artist, panels feel rushed and messy but oh well.

I forgot to write my review when the last issue in the trade came out oops. Better than the first volume, which was all set up. The first volume was egrecious because if you were reading monthly instead of in the trade you had to wait so long for everything. The second volume makes up for that, wayy more interesting, more plot moving, and some great moments. I'm hoping the next arc keeps the steam going.

I was hopeful for this series after volume 1, but even after another four issues, it still feels like it's going nowhere and the characters are too cute (twee!) to be believed. The art is the strength here. I'm not sure if I'll be back for volume 3, even though this is a Remender comic and he's one of my favorites...

The Seasons Vol. 2 sees Azaceta, Remender, et al. continue to craft a unique sisterly family drama wrapped in surreal candy-colored adventures. The mysterious worldbuilding, nutso action, and genuine creep-outs should pull in fans of Sandman, The Wicked & The Divine, and Umbrella Academy. Imagine Tim Burton meets David Lynch with a twist of Miyazaki!

“The Seasons” is one of those books I could have easily forgotten to continue with, but then the library got volume two only a week after volume one. The adventurous tale continues, with some reveal about what happened to the parents a decade ago. This does feel like a rather thin allegory for the role phones are playing in our society. I would be willing to continue when the next volume comes out.

6/10

has an almost Alice in Wonderland feel to it, but stumbles a bit by explaining too much of its world. i liked the vague intrigue of volume 1 but volume 2 almost gives the whole mystery away. still, it's a cool world with creative art and colors
