( ) Penny is a sarcastic, aspiration less, 26-year-old, temp worker by day and shut-in by night. Then she runs into a couple of guys who are making an indie horror film. Penny throws caution to the wind and agrees to help with their movie and everything in her life changes for the better. This is a fun story of friendship and finding oneself. Penny is a 26-year-old, single temp worker living an unexceptional life. Her married suburbanite sister Laura harangues her about improving her station and her roommate sets her up on dates, but Penny is indifferent. While working for her sister at a health and fitness fair she meets Sam and Bobert who invite her to work with them on their new horror film which they plan to submit to "Splattercon." Penny agrees to join them and as she becomes more absorbed in her role working on the film she experiences happiness and satisfaction she hasn't had before. Penny's snark is hilarious and the rest of the motley film crew are distinct characters of their own. They all come together to make DIY filmmaking a cool enterprise. The title character is a practical and dull 26-year-old woman who is stuck in a rut, floating from temp job to temp job during the day and becoming a shut-in at night. A chance encounter with a couple of sketchy dudes making an independent, no-budget slasher movie may give Penny one last chance at finding a life. There are no big surprises here except how relatable Penny is, how delightful the other characters are, and how much I enjoyed hanging with all of them. This sort of reminds me of Young Frances, another graphic novel about a twentysomething trying to make her way in the world that I also liked a lot. I'm also a fan of Reed's Americus. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

"I never wanted to be a teacher or lawyer. I never wanted to be anything, really." Stuck working mind-numbing temp jobs, Penny Nichols yearns to break free from the rut she's found herself in. When, by chance, she falls in with a group of misfits making a no-budget horror movie called "Blood Wedding," everything goes sideways. Soon her days are overrun with gory props, failed Shakespearean actors, a horny cameraman, and a disappearing director. Somehow Penny must hold it all together and keep the production from coming apart at the seams. This hilarious original graphic novel is a loving tribute to the chaos and camaraderie of DIY filmmaking, and the ways we find our future -- and our family -- in the unlikeliest of places.
