Young Avengers, Vol. 3 by Kieron Gillen5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Clark is a composer, and I’m not sure if he’s worked in comics before, but he and Higgins make a very good team. Beyruth’s art is really nice, and while the music has to be imagined, I can tell it swings. This single issue accomplishes a lot – it paints a vivid portrait of this time and place, and the ways in which musicians have to hustle to make ends meet. He connects with an up-and-coming cornet player who shows him the ropes, and even gets him a regular gig at a whorehouse, which is against the wishes of the woman raising him. “Ace” is a young clarinet player living in WWI era New Orleans, and he’s determined to play. This series looks like it’s going to be an anthology of sorts, but this first graphic novella-sized issue tells only one story. ![]() With Deep Cuts, I think that writers Kyle Higgins and Joe Clark, and artist Danilo Beyruth have figured it out, and have also created the example for people who try this in the future. Translating the emotions and experiences conveyed through the ear into a visual medium is not easy at all, yet I always find myself drawn to projects that make the attempt. Deep Cuts #1 – I love comics, and I love music, but I don’t often love comics about music. ![]()
