Lovestruck

Lovestruck is hands down my pick for best OGN of 2011. It's not too often anymore that I read a book and immediately wish there was more when I finish with it. But this was that rare gem.
It's a story where love is a commodity and Cupid sends his "salesmen" out to procure him the most profits. His most profitable agent is Kalli Monroe, and this is her story of discovering the behind-the-scenes aspect of the love business and how she uses her powers for the corporation. But not all is sweet chocolate kisses, as we find out love is a dirty business.
Dennis Hopeless is emerging as a top writer in the field. I've not read everything by him, but between this and Marvel's Legion of Monsters, plus the preview for the upcoming X-Men Season One OGN, he's got all the talent to make him a superstar. I had the same feeling with Nick Spencer, and look how big he's become. Dennis makes these characters feel real, even though they have powers. They're immediately likeable, with their snarky attitudes and whip-smart lines. Today's youth can definitely relate to them, while my generation (let's not say older, okay?) can still sense where they're coming from. A very hard thing to do anymore. But it's done perfectly. The overall story is fresh and original. Definitely not like anything else you'll find on the racks. Also something apparently hard to do anymore. And it's all packaged by an art style by Kevin Mellon that allows you to immediately immerse yourself in this believable, yet unbelievable tale. The art is crisp, giving each character their own unique look. That's an important thing in a tale that's basically filled with your average teenagers. But each one breathes their own distinct life. Very visually appealing.
So, if you want a book that is far from your standard tale, then you need look no further. You've found your winner right here.
