Long Distance

Last time in Long Distance, readers were introduced to Carter and Lee as the couple meet during a snowstorm at an airport. The young couple were head over heels in love with each other, but their problem being they lived 300 miles apart. Carter and Lee began their relationship far part, and Carter undertook a journey to see Lee. The next issue of Long Distance picks with Carter’s and Lee’s date together. Zahler presents the same quality of artwork as issue one. The beauty of monochromatic shades continues without fail. The writing of the comic presents new complexity of issues between the two lovers and developing passion. Zahler delivers a lovely follow up to Long Distance #1.

Zahler crafts a tale of budding romance with a genuine tone of tenderness with realism in the character. His artwork is done with care and thought. It is true Carter’s and Lee’s romance may seem like it is low risk without much conflict as both characters are stable and are independent. But Zahler beckons the reader to press on to see how the newly forming romance stands up to the distance between the lovers and their personal lives
