"I finally got around to bringing in the newest Paul Sizer book into the (ever growing) collection of books piling up. With Graphic Novels, I can always at least manage to fit them in between the epic bug-smashing books, and they're very seldom lacking in reward.
B.P.M. is a definite departure from a lot of the previous works that Sizer's released. There's no galaxy-spanning civilization, abandoned mining platworms or under-dwelling gangs. This one's backdrop is NYC, present day, present time. It covers the aspirations of Roxy, a DJ with promise, struggling to make a name for herself. After an evening of squeaking by yet again to a bored college crowd, she meets a former DJ whose rise to stardom threw him back in the gutter when the lifestyle got to be too much for him. As Roxy speaks with him more and more, she finds her old life slipping away, but in its place begins to find new opportunities in her new-found musical advancement.
It's a pretty established theme: young up-and-comer meets forgotten-master willing to pass on his skills. However, rarely is this seen applied to music. Having an experience with both music and art myself (and having followed neither very successfully) it grabbed my interest. Paul had put out some single images out for BPM that piqued my interest before the book went out. If it had single issue releases I never saw them, but Cafe Press and Amazon came to the rescue so that I could finally get a shot at reading it. I recommend it for music lovers and fans of Paul's art style, and just for anyone in general. Support your indie artists - music or visual!..."
