He even mentions her in one of his comics, I'm not sure if she mentions him... Is this the novelised version? I have read her comics (graphic novels). I had a completely different interpretation than your review did: I did not at ALL see her 'relationship' with her stepfather figure as 'equal' or even a 'relationship'. She makes it pretty clear this was abusive and incestuous. And a lot of her comics and work deals with this abuse and its after-effects. A lot of abuse survivors become hyper-sexual and self-destructive and that seems to be what happened with Phoebe also. 719727@blogcritics.org Tue, 20 May 2008 10:11:08 EDT
