A Contract God was amazing! I was instantly captivated by Eisner's sick sense of humor. The novel became a little intense at times, but nothing unbearable. It is definitely not a children's comic, which for me was a great contrast as it lacks the whimsical and somewhat "foofy" elements that were in the previous comics we had been reading. Eisner's illustrations with the ink was fantastic and perfect his sense of humor and the story it really gave the drab and unhappy vibe a great look.
The great mini-stories that all seem unrelated come together brilliantly. Everything has a life lesson. I did also really enjoy Eisner's break from traditional comic book structure by removing the bounding box and placing the text immersed either in the ink work or closely corresponding to it.
