![]() Examining the differences between brain, mind, and soul as well as how different mental illnesses and substances impact our brain activity, it ventures from deserted islands and neuron forests to memory caves and castles of deception. Neurocomic is a psychedelic journey through the human brain that explores how we feel, remember, and dream by way of graphic novel. It’s done in black-and-white, too! Here’s a journey into our mind, one which thinks by understanding the mechanics, we can ultimately understand ourselves. Numerous paths form and diverge, twist and wind in a way that evokes our synapses firing. Hana Roš use the medium as a way to explore the brain. The Lie and How We Told It is a remarkably resonant work from an exciting new voice in contemporary graphic novels. Parrish’s first graphic novel for Fantagraphics is a visual tour de force, navigating queer desire, masculinity, fear, and the ever-in-flux state of friendships. Their art is intoxicating and reads as if it can hypnotize you into some deeper truths.Ī friendship creaks under the strain of a fumbling encounter between its two participants, leaving them even more lonely and uncertain than before. Tommi Parrish seems prepared to bring that mentality to this comic about fast encounters and friendships, about lusts and desires and connections. Yet, since queerdom is inherently a desire-driven, sex-fueled thing, I wish we could see more material that’s decidedly adult. Stuff like “Check Please” or “Heart Stopper” give comfort, direction, and empathy to their audiences. I think it’s wonderful there are so many comics available for younger and young adult queer readers. But taking down an icon is no easy task, and his actions could prove devastating for his friends in the future. Convinced that the only way to save the world is to rewrite its past, they send one of their own on a bloody, one-way mission back to 1492 to kill Christopher Columbus before he reaches the so-called New World. Humanity has given up hope, except for a group of outcast Indigenous survivors who have discovered a time travel portal in a cave in the middle of the desert and figured out where the world took a sharp turn for the worst: America. Stephen Graham Jones makes his ongoing comics debut with Earthdivers! The year is 2112, and it’s the apocalypse exactly as expected: rivers receding, oceans rising, civilization crumbling. Glanfelice’s burly art seems perfectly cut for this, and it’s cool to see Jones expanding his reach. ![]() ![]() In his ongoing debut, Jones teams up with Italian artist Davide Glanfelice for this store about time travelling indigenous people attempting to assassinate Columbus. Stephen Graham Jones is a giant in horror fiction, so good (after working for so hard for so long) even the mainstream literary establishment has embraced him. ![]()
