Coco Wang's China 5.12 Earthquake Strips Review 
Posted by Wrim @ 1:50 am Monday July 19th
f you haven't read Coco Wang's China 5.12 Earthquake Strips you probably should, and here's why:
Some artists take forever to build up an atmosphere, but Coco Wang manages to deliver a neat slice-of-real-life story in a matter of a few frames.
Her comic strips are based on real stories found in newspapers from the 2008 Sichuan earthquake aftermath.
It deals with humanity's strive for survival and teaches us the values of family and friendship and when you're done reading you can't help but to feel emotionally attached to the characters.
And that's where it gets better.
To me the best comics aren't the ones who delivers an awesome punchline or even great character development,
it's the ones that sends your brain into philosophic-mode for 5 hours after you've read it.
It's not the content itself, it isn't the message it delivers,
it's the next step in your head that makes this comic a must-read.
"I hope you could know something about the earthquake in China, although you don't have to do anything, but I hope you could feel our love and hope." - Coco Wang
