Side projects waiting for a polish -- or in most cases, crude assembly -- take a back seat to ventures down at the back waving in the after effects of heat, moisture and neglect. These are worlds and words living within 32 pages. Actual content count may vary from sample to sample.
So what's your problem emo boy? Many things, lots of things. Everything. Simpering wimp. We'll see what happens to you in the next issue.
Quirky is the first thing to come to mind. A world here, a world there, soon they will meet up. That is the course, that is what is seen. They are looking rather dystopic with the washing of the colours in a dark hue. Against this is the rather hip and happy nature of a few of the characters, oddballs for sure. Interesting.
Plato, Nietzsche and Bodhidarma take the spotlight in this debut issue. The writing takes a hand with the open and sharp art to deliver the most fun had in learning about great minds in such a long time. There are times when the amount of text cannot be overcome, copious strings flooding the space to at times lose out the comicbook feel and veer a little close to straight up shooting. Comes away clean though. Definitely a series worth tracking each subsequent issue of.
Pedestrian zombie tale with nothing more than mashed brains on the wall and litres of blood dripping all over the place. Repent sinner!
