Panels anticipates arrival of Beverly

I’m often skeptical of books and movies about “the sterile sameness of the suburbs” (mostly because the theme has been explored so many times that it’s hard to say something interesting), but Nick Drnaso’s Beverly looks promising, with an art style evocative of Chris Ware (who praised the book over at D&Q’s website) and a cast of disaffected teens that might have come out of the mind of Daniel Clowes. The graphic novel is written as a series of interconnected short stories, promising additional insights on a reread.
