Uptight #2
by Jordan Crane
published by Fantagraphics

All hail Jordan Crane in his effort to reinvigorate the standard pamphlet comic book.  Uptight is what a comic book should be:  an intense, well thought out, tightly crafted, personal expression at an affordable price.  Not for the faint of heart, this issue plunges the reader into a stressed out, anxiety prone world where everyone is right on the edge and some are going over:  "Take Me Home" follows a lonely shift worker haunted by a late night encounter; "Before They Got Better" gives us a perfect pitch rendition of domestic tensions rocking the boat without ever quite dragging it under the waves; and the second installment of "Keeping Two" shows its protagonist's imaginiation running away with him as he anxiously awaits his girlfriend's return from renting a video.  Each is vividly rendered and expertly paced.  This is a comic book.  Recommended.
