Credits Grade: 1 Darcy runs her idea for a TV program called The Homeless Channel by the TV execs and gets approved. After their first day, they celebrate and watch it on TV.This is one of the oddest ideas for a comic I think I've heard. It's hard to tell if Matt Silady is trying to raise awareness about the homeless like Darcy is or if he's just telling a story. This first volume is basically just setting things up, but I must say after reading volume two it's not entirely necessary and definitely not as interesting. The art is a very stark black and white, no shading, and looks like photos of people were used for outline purposes. The whole thing is just a bit off and not interesting — I think it might have intrigued me a little if the show Darcy was trying to do was something more interesting or exciting than watching a homeless man on a corner for seven hours.
