Margaux & Owen Go to the Shore
Warning: there are no scenes on the beach in this comic. That’s for the people who only buy comics that have beaches in them, because if you can imagine the fetish, it exists out there somewhere. For the rest of us, this is a sidebar to the overall story that is the “romance” of Owen and Margaux. This covers the conversation between the two of them after Owen confronts Margaux after she revealed his gills on the beach, against his express wishes from doing it in public. They have an argument, then they seem like they come to an understanding… and then things get weird. This is a shortie, so there’s not a whole lot to say about it (Audra specifically says on the back that it was drawn to qualify for a grant from a con), but it’s still an important piece of the whole puzzle. Or it will be? Guess I don’t know what the whole puzzle is yet either. But there’s rarely enough time to show the quiet moments in comics, and this one covers a gap nicely. In other words, the main series is significantly more layered and dense than this issue, and the main series is definitely where you should start if you’re new to Audra’s work, but if you’ve been keeping up, this is absolutely worth checking out to help fill in the overall big picture. $5
