YMMV / Zerocalcare

• Audience-Alienating Era:
  • Anyone has his opinion on what Rech's best work is, but nearly everyone agrees that Dodici is his weakest work to date.
  • The live-action movie was Saved from Development Hell, but nobody liked it (including Rech himself), and it sank without a trace in theaters.
• Growing the Beard: Rech's earlier works are humorous with the occasional heavier topic; but Kobane Calling puts the heavy topic front and center, with the jokes as contour.
