Between the titular references to disparate pop songs, and the familiar aesthetics of 90s side-scrollers, this is a book I’ve been looking forward to for some time. Sina Grace’s art is charming and disarming in S. Steven Struble’s Lil Depressed Boy; here Grace is stepping up his game, exhibiting a versatility he only hinted at in last autumn’s underrated Not My Bag. Conceptually, this book sounds like your basic quest for vengeance, but simple plots yield simple pleasures…Burn the Orphanage is tailor-made for trash culturists.
