Are girls only interested in jerks? It’s a time-honored question among high school boys, and one that gets an admirably thorough examination in MK Reed and Farel Dalrymple’s collaborative comic Palefire. But the question, of course, isn’t that simple. Some girls are interested in bad boys, like Alison, who finds something intriguing in firebug Darren that no one else sees. And some “nice guys,” like Paul, use their niceness as a weapon, reminding their friends just how they’re continually falling short of the mark.
