Now that was one heck of a comic. It all starts off casually enough, as our (unnamed) hero has insomnia, wakes up at 3am and decides to take a walk. I’d submit that nothing good in human history has ever happened after deciding to take a walk at 3am, but our hero obviously doesn’t subscribe to that theory. As he’s leaving his cat runs out the open door. Cat owners know the terror involved in that situation (remind me to tell you about the time I chased my very indoors cat through an open courtyard during, yes, the early morning hours with nobody around). Which maybe wouldn’t be that bad, as he lives in an apartment building and the cat is just loose in the hallway, but then the elevator door opens and the cat runs inside, leading to a whole thing. I’m not sure how much to give away here, but that sample image below, of our hero finally getting onto an elevator? If you can take one look at that other guy and think that situation ends well, do I ever have some bad news for you! From there it’s a steady escalation, as it turns out that there’s quite a lot of activity happening in that apartment building at 3am, along with the extremely disquieting sense that you’re never completely sure how real any of what’s happening actually is. It’s a thoroughly entertaining and more than slightly creepy book, so of course I think you should check it out. $5
