I first met Tomie through the movie, which is a disturbing piece of work, but the graphic novel is FUCKED. UP. The immortal title character, who manipulates people into murdering her again and again, is a malignant narcissist and an incel’s wet nightmare, but there’s something pure about her malice. If you’re a fan of Fantômas or Maldoror, Tomie might be you.
Not all it's chalked up to be. Glad I read it, but failed to really impress.
