The Dream Project Now Available! $2.95
And here I was thinking that my trolling the store to find comics that were never reviewed might have been a waste of time. If I hadn’t, when would I have ever finally read some of these comics that slipped through the cracks? The last of Kelli’s book I had to review (the phenomenal Horrifically Complete Non-Winner) was done over a year ago, and here this one sat. This is, as you might have been able to tell from the title, a dream comic, with brief bits at the end about the nature of dreams and a bit at the end about the best way to lower dream recall, which is an interesting change from people who want to remember absolutely everything about their dreams. This is damned near a pitch perfect representation of a dream. Kelli’s focus will shift to a light, which leads seamlessly to her staring at a clock. Figures will remain throughout the dream (but they’ll age several years through the course of the dream), Kelli knows instinctively who is evil and who she likes, regular events of the time will get thrown in along with absurdities that seem perfectly normal, like Kelli asking for the rest of the water from the pool of the INXS singer who killed himself. It’s silly to summarize the story, as it’s a dream comic, but this does manage to maintain the bizarre consistency of a dream, the sense that everything comes together at the end even though there’s no logical reason for it to do so. For those of you who may have forgotten about Kelli on this page, or for you new folks who have never seen her stuff, take a closer look. At this issue, sure, but there’s a whole pile of goodness on this page. $2.95
