Description

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Sophie Campbell’s landmark series Wet Moon, the first of three softcover omnibus volumes collects the stories Feeble Wanderings and Unseen Feet, now in a larger trim size with newly illustrated covers and a never-before-seen introduction from Campbell herself.

An unusually usual day-to-day story in the Deep South, set in the Gothic, swampy southern town of Wet Moon, a place fraught with lousy love lives, teen angst, and shadowy rednecks. As Cleo Lovedrop heads off for college at the local art school, she's haunted by her melancholic past. Elsewhere, Trilby deals with unsettled emotional and sexual issues, and keeping her secret habits hidden from everyone. And Audrey comes to the realization that, despite all her efforts, she always causes her friends distress, while Fern, a peculiar girl who lives in an isolated mansion in the bayou, begins to notice Cleo and her friends. Goths, friendship, romance, sex, betrayal, gossip, cats, murder, guilt, a squirrel monkey, and all the terrible and wonderful things people do to each other can be found in the pages of Wet Moon.

Very cool story. Beautiful art. Conversations and the flow are top notch. Character development is very good and in depth. Very highly recommended.

I cannot pretend that I have not been a fan of Wet Moon for many, many years. Sophie Campbell's series is something I have greatly enjoyed for a long while now, and I am glad to see it recollected.

The story meanders, as soapish stories do, and introduces many residents of Wet Moon. The focus is on their personal interactions and involvements. Over time this will build into more of a story, but this first volume introduces you to the characters and the setting.

Wet Moon is a cool snapshot of the aughts. The characters and their interactions are rooted in that time period. As we get further away, this will seem more like a snapshot of a particular moment. That's one of the things I really enjoy about Wet Moon.

Another thing I love is the art. Sophie Campbell is one of my favorite comic book artists, and it is great watching her work evolve.

This book was so random, but I enjoyed it. It’s so nostalgic of my teenage years. Anyone who was a teenager in the early 2000s will feel the nostalgia deeply when you read this book. Especially if you were into the emo / scene / goth thing back then. I liked this book for the nostalgia and at the end I found myself wanting to know what happens next. Even though it’s just a simple slice of life story, the ending makes me want to know what happens in the next volume.
