Flytrap #1

This is the last of the “lost” comics from the last con I went to six months ago, and by “lost”, I mean “stuffed under a pile of comics in my apartment”. So what you have here is an already accomplished artist working with a published author which, frankly, is a bit rare for the small press comics world. This is the story of probably the worst day in the life of a young woman named Maddy. She’s juggling a boyfriend (who she’s also promoting) a job (doing said promoting) and regular life things, so natually everything is bound to come crashing down around here. The interesting thing here though isn’t so much the crashing but the reaction to everything going wrong. Oh, and there’s a circus act involved somehow, which is sure to get more interesting in future issues. Speaking of which, I know mini comics come out at a snail’s pace anyway (mostly), but here’s hoping there two can juggle their regular careers with this series, because it has potential from this first glimpse to be something special. $2
