'Love: A Discovery in Comics' by Margreet de Heer is a series of comics exploring love in it's different types and phases.

Love is a big subject, but it gets taken on here. There are many types of love, and those are defined. The book mainly focuses on eros, or romantic, love. The story follows a couple as they meet and are happy forever, until they aren't.

I had fun reading this one. The topic is covered in a fun way and the illustrations are good. I don't know how memorable it all is a couple days after reading it.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from NBM Publishing, Papercutz, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

I am uncertain if the ARC I received was an unfinished version? There were some pages with blank speech bubbles here and there, but I couldn't figure out whether that was on purpose, or because something was left out. It was a tad disjointed, but not too much so, so could go either way.

It was a fun and quick read, but not one that made a big impression on me. It didn't really bring anything new to the table, but then I hadn't expected it to either.

This book was so cute and happy!!! I really felt like I got a feel for the relationship of the couple in the book, and I absolutely loved when ever anything was mentioned of them. It was super informative with a ton of things I'd never known or heard of, but gives you insight on love and does so in a fun way.


Super enjoyable 😍

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I decided to take on this book. It's half encyclopedia half personal experience on love in comic art. It's enjoyable and informative, but it failed to fully capture my interest. The authors nonetheless deserve my congratulations for doing something different.

All'avvicinarsi del settimo anno di matrimonio, Margreet inizia a paventare la classica crisi con il marito - un uomo perfetto per lei, incontrato quando entrambi disperavano di trovare l'anima gemella.

E inizia a riflettere sull'amore, in tutte le sue sfumature.

Parte diario intimo di una vita amorosa, parte esplorazione dei significati dell'amore in ogni sfaccettatura, Love è un viaggio ironico e sincero nel sentimento più citato di tutti, e in quello che ognuno (e il mondo intero) si aspettano che sia - o che debba essere.

Divertente, sincero e, nel suo piccolo, appassionante.

Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for the early copy.

I'll be checking out more from this comic strip author! It was interesting look at romance and love.

I didn't like this graphic novel so much, but it was funny sometimes, but I think that it is just impossible to make love simple, even if it could/should be. Maybe as a comic strip was funnier, I do not know.....

Questa graphic novel non mi é piaciuta poi tanto, anche se a volte mi ha fatto ridere, ma fare dell'amore una cosa semplice non é possibile secondo me, anche se teoricamente potrebbe esserlo. Magari come striscia giornaliera sarebbe stata piú divertente....non lo so......

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

Perfectly reasonable all-ages-friendly primer about love, which does touch on tantric sex and open marriages, but also discusses the science of it, the feeling of it, the problems if you look too hard for it, and some ideas about keeping hold of it. I liked the chatty style, right down to the "it is what it is" conclusion, and apart from a couple of pages where the reading order was too random the visuals are good, too. It fits the mould of these light-of-touch non-fiction guides in graphic novel form, and is warm-hearted with it.
