Description
Psychic power relationship comics. The first in a series.
“Nearly all his themes can be heard here: deadpan slice-of-life dialogue juxtaposed with extravagantly odd SFF concepts; deconstructed, dismantled, dismembered, disfigured human bodies and faces, like cubism reimagined as body horror; friendship depicted primarily as a venue for venting ideas and concerns at one another rather than real emotional interaction; uncomfortably accurate and funny lampooning of the disconnect between lofty art-school philosophizing and post-graduation economic reality; visually spectacular treatment of altered states shared by two people; creepy horror slowly oozing out of and eventually overwhelming previously established ideas.” — Sean T. Collins
“DeForge’s art looks incredible beneath the book’s dense haze of photocopier noise, a perfectly rough chorus for his clean lines and soft shapes. The whole thing is pinned to a basic three-tiered grid, which DeForge manipulates with skill and nuance. Dialogue scenes are packed into tight six-panel grids, while the panels open wide in stranger scenes, letting the body detritus and telepathic energy float around the corners of the pages with the xerox grit.” — Matt Seneca
16-page black and white risographed digest with red-on yellow cover.
