Reviews
THE 10 BEST INDIE COMICS AND GRAPHIC NOVELS OF 2014 Heartbreak sucks. Corinne Mucha's Get Over It! is probably as close to a cure as we're going to get. - Foreword Reviews Mucha's comic centers on her own experience of a messy breakup, chronicling the feelings of confusion and frustration that will be immediately familiar to anyone who's been there before. - The Huffington Post Denial--check: Mucha spends half the book pining for her ex and convincing herself the relationship wasn't as bad as it obviously was. Anger--check: Mucha seethes at the mere mention of his name. Bargaining and depression (check and double-check) are repeated until finally, three years later, acceptance is reached. It sounds grim, but in Mucha's hands it's actually quite engaging. - The Onion A.V. Club Her unique sense of humor balances a story that, at its heart, is very much about grief. Mucha's constant use of wordplay, gags, visual metaphors, and childlike flights of fancy give her a self-aware edge. She balances difficult themes of grief and healing with a heavy dose of visual puns and irreverent humor, from Beyonce references to surreal, drawn-out phone calls between her anthropomorphic heart and brain. She slips easily in and out of fantasy, with daydreams bleeding into reality. - LA Review of Books Want to know how long it really takes to get over your ex? At last, forget all the science studies, because Corinne Mucha has nailed it. She's offered up her new theory in an autobiographical graphic novel; Get Over It! centers round her own messy breakup and probably tells your story, too. - Cosmopolitan
