Do Miracles in Nikes Like Jesus Did In Sandals...

-MF Grimm "Take Em' to War" off Scars & Memories

Percy Carey, aka MF Grimm's pretty devastating graphic novel Sentences comes out in paperback today. Carey was a kid actor on Sesame Street, a part of early 90s Underground rap, a drug dealer that survived a murder attempt but ended up paralyzed, a friend and then enemy of MF Doom, and other crazy stuff. I'm still really down on the artwork in this book by Ronald Wimberly--some pseudo graf meets The Boondocks bullshit--but Carey's smart about his story and I really like how much of it is just narration and images and like, barely even a typical comic book or anything.
