Don't Come in Here Paperback – May 10, 2016

Kinda really good. I like that you can never really see the main character's face. I've never really seen that done before. And then there's the stuff about walking from one place to another--Patrick Kyle does something really cool in this book with that. The landlord character is ultra-mint. Yes, there's even a Simpsons bit it is super meta but in a really cool sort of (not-really-that-meta) way. I didn't think I would like the book. I only bought it because it was <$10 for a brand new book that just came out! I had never really heard of Patrick Kyle until this book. Looked to me like it was going to be abstract art + comics/graphic novel-stuff + a story that makes no sense. The story actually makes sense. And the presentation honestly, is probably one of my favorite comics/graphic novels I have read in a long while. I would read a little bit each night before I went to bed. Easy to follow. You could read this all in 2 hours or less. I am slow at reading though, and looking at images. If you REALLY look at what's going on here though, you could be reading/looking at this book for 6+ months. I just might buy another Patrick Kyle book. Excellent stuff. Heartily recommended!

Black and white is a great medium for Kyle's work, and each page stands as a well-balanced visually pleasing piece of art by itself. How long it takes you to read it is really up to you, but I found it to be a nice quick, meditative read. You can see their modernist influences in the work. As much of a piece of art as a readable comic book.

At $13.87 after s&h, I overpaid for this by quite a lot. It's very much in the minimalist vein; and while some graphic novels with this style have re-readability, I don't think this one does. Returns a hassle...You probably don't want this unless you really REALLY enjoy this guy's work.[edit: 2 stars to 3. I have enjoyed flipping through this every so often. Still overpaid.]

For the design shape size and graphics I give this slim delicious book highest possible ratings. A must buy.But if you like Faces pause a bit. Faces and eyes can convey such emotion. No faces in this book. Yet. The graphic design of the book though abstract is five star quality.

A beautiful meditation on time, space, bodies & technology. It's often abstract but propulsive and coherent. It's philosophical but avoids navel-gazing-stoner tropes while still not taking itself too seriously. Some of the most readable, least self-conscious, warmest "art comics" on paper.

I have to admit, this was the worst graphic novel I have ever read. I've read hundreds of thousands of comics since the late 1970s, covering every possible publisher, genre, and creator, and this one just did not do it for me. Honestly, I'm not a fan of this "craft less" art style, so I'm not exactly the target audience, but even with that caveat, I still hated it. Sorry Patrick!

Great art style as always.

The new ones better but it's all great

quando il fumetto vuol essere troppo artistico, spesso qualcosa non funziona.

Very thoughtful book. Shown a few friends. All very intrigued
