Evenfall #3
I could see this book being the next big thing, along the lines of a Strangers in Paradise or Stray Bullets, in a few years. There’s a solid, fast-paced story that has you always wondering what’s coming next (and what came before, although that might just be because I missed #1) and some incredibly detailed and lavish art. The story here is that it’s about a year after a woman named Phoebe’s mother died of cancer. She finds that reality is slipping away from her at times, leading her to see demons and blimps, among other things, and it shows glimpses of a rich, complex world. At least I hope it does, as the possibilities for this seem limitless. This seems to be coming out on a regular basis, so I’d say wait a few months or so and get the first collection (isn’t there always a collection of issues?), but this is definitely worth checking out. That all being said, I guess I’d better throw in a complaint. Why censor yourself? I’ve never gotten the point of saying “F—” instead of “Fuck”. It’s done by Slave Labor, and it’s not like they’re that strict on that sort of thing. I mean, when you have a character randomly go over to the house of an asshole, fuck him and then tell him in the crudest possible terms that she’s used him, do you really have to worry too much about saying a bad word? Most people might say yes, but it’s always seemed stupid to me. Anyway, once I get off of my soapbox, there’s a lot to like here. It’s $2.95, you can find it on the Slave Labor website or you could probably just e-mail Pete.
