I downloaded this last night, just finished. I usually buy graphic novels (or in this case, graphic memoirs) in hard copy, but the iPad/Kindle app did a good job with the graphics.

Great read, thanks for bringing it to my attention! It has this interesting blend of titillating and insightful. Now that I think of it, that's the standard addiction-memoir formula, but it's interesting to see it as an illustrated narrative. The ending is a bit too tidy and abrupt for my taste, but that might have more to do with the comic book format/presentation.
