This just gets better and better; either rhat, or I keep forgetting how good it is in between issues. This issue: Jomi goes to a museum. No, really, that's the big sequence. Geisha is probably the comic that's most self-consciously about Art since, well, Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics. It's also about what is real, and what is fake, and whether it makes a difference--all important concerns to an android girl in a society that treats them as second-class imitations of real people. There aren't many writers, of comics or otherwise, that I actually think have interesting things to say when they tackle "deep" subjects, but Andi Watson is one of them.
