Plain Janes was great, the 2nd Janes was great too. I tell all of my friends with daughters to get them both. Any book that has art as a tool for protest, art as a tool for healing, art as a tool for bonding, has something far more interesting than crime fighting or boy trouble, to say, and it deserves to be heard. One of the Minx titles “Waterbaby” I think, the main character has her leg bitten of by a shark, yes you saw that, bitten off by a shark! Don’t tell me that wasn’t going to be an amazing story I am a girl, way older than the demo they were aiming for, but a girl nonetheless who is into comics, and I hadn't even heard of Minx until I met Cecile Castelluci, author of the Plain Janes, at ComicCon. I now feel guilty that I missed the Minx panel at SDCC, but there was too much shiny stuff on the dealer floor I got distracted. So sad. This is so so sad!

I really believed in the Minx line as soon as I read their first book "The Plain Janes" The book wasn't aimed at a then 41 year old man, but I enjoyed it a lot and it was one of my favorite graphic novels of 2007. I also enjoyed "The Re-Gifters," Clubbing," "The New York 4," and am currently enjoying "Janes in Love." I have passed these books onto my niece Crystal and she has enjoyed everyone of them and now they are gone. I don't blame DC they tried, but it appears in the long run that bookstores just weren't interested. What a shame.
