Description
This issue in two parts: Part One: “Pizzeria Kamikaze” continues: suicide casualties Mordi and Ari, embark on a journey to find Mordi’s lost love in their unique after life, a place prohibited only by suicide casualties. On their way they bump into suicide bombers, a girl who has a big secret and a crazy guy who lost his cat. Part Two: “Telekinetic”: ever felt like there was someone else in your house, even when you knew there wasn’t? A chronic stomachache and a picture that won’t stay still pushes our hero to confront this someone and discovers the legend of Shmilove, the world first Telekinetic.
Tomer and Asaf Hanuka are twins. They share a similar genetic structure but were raised in different places. This condition creates a special tension between their stories and styles and is the foundation of Bipolar. Asaf, with writer Etgar Keret is telling the story of Pizzeria Kamikaze about a guy with a broken heart who committed suicide only to find himself at Pizza Kamikaze, a regular day job in a world where everyone died before and now it’s about passing time. Tomer is telling personal stories with a twisted time sense that will put you right now, a year ago, and in the future.
