    In case you didn't realize it: the title is about as ironic as humanly possible
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 28, 2012*

MISTER WONDERFUL is part of the endless repackaging of Daniel Clowes, though this piece (unlike most of his recent books) didn't first see life as a single issue of his old comics series, "Eightball." No, this first appeared in the short-lived New York Times Magazine "Funny Papers" section, one of the few moments when the Grey Lady tried to emulate regular newspapers.The story has been reworked slightly -- each large NYT page has been broken into two shorter, wider pages, to pad the length up to something that can be called a book -- and there are some other changes as well, but it's still the same, just told in a slightly different form. (And it's also a story very similar to Clowes's last standalone graphic novel, 
  
Wilson







  
  
    .)Marshall is a middle-aged sad sack, divorced, lonely, nearly broke and with no real hopes of getting any better. He narrates this story -- intensively narrates it, in a caption-filled style very out of fashion in most of mainstream comics, which shoves us directly into his head and holds us there, hostage perhaps, until the end of the book. Marshall isn't great company, unfortunately -- he's obsessive about his own shortcomings, and self-flagellation is only interesting for so long.MISTER WONDERFUL is the story of one day in Marshall's life -- one night, really -- starting with a blind date, and continuing on from there. Marshall's been set up with Natalie by mutual friends, and Natalie is probably just as damaged as Marshall is, in her own ways -- but we only see her through Marshall's eyes, and only see her when Marshall gets out of the way, which is hardly ever. So MISTER WONDERFUL is primarily a tour through Marshall's psyche, with short stops along the way to take in some real-life events that illustrate that his poor self-image is well rooted in his actual competencies.It doesn't have the satirical edge of Clowes's earlier work -- Clowes wants us to identify with Marshall and care about him. (MISTER WONDERFUL is most like a work by a slightly more friendly, and less formalist, Chris Ware.) But Marshall is undeniably tedious and suffocating -- though he is nowhere near as horrible as the "hero" of Clowes's WILSON was, so he does have that to (very slightly) recommend him. Clowes can create characters that are damaged, self-obsessed, and fascinating -- recall Enid and Rebecca from

     -- but, these days, he's tending to leave off "fascinating," which is unfortunate.

    Why this feeling?  Why this glow?
  

*by J***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 12, 2012*

Here we have another graphic novel by Daniel Clowes.  The plot: a middle aged sad sack goes on a blind date.  That's it.  That may sound boring, but Clowes has a knack for making ordinary people interesting.  We get to "hear" the man's inner thoughts on that date, which sometimes "drown out" the dialog.  If you are a Clowes fan like me, you will want to read this.  If you have never read him before, I recommend starting with
