The brothers' life story and how the years treat them is so moving and well told, it's like seeing poetry. Few comic books leave me feel like I've been punched in the gut but this one destroyed me. I'll be honest, this book is devastating. The story is told from the perspective of Lou, now deaf and aged in his eighties, looking back on his life story like a ghost, hovering in the background. The two brothers, once inseparable, are torn apart by their shared love of Beth and don't speak for 25 years. Lou tries to make it in hockey, breaks his knee, and becomes a tram driver. Vince is the talented one but leaves the sport in his prime to marry his girlfriend Beth, start a family, and work on a farm. The story is about two brothers, Lou and Vince LeBeuf, who aspire to play pro hockey. ![]()
