Treeby Kooba #2

Are you as creeped out by that cover as I am? Really? If not, take a look at it again. The inside is even creepier, but luckily for the reader it’s also fascinating. What would you do if some thing wandering in the street said it could tell you the secret of the universe? Would you give up your job, apartment and girlfriend to find out? That’s the choice Jeremy has to make. Yes, it’s the same Jeremy who is making the comic, and whatever the wall is called where the creator has no interaction with his work has been smashed to little pieces here. Jeremy sees a… thing out of the corner of his eye that shows him something disturbing. Later he also meets the representation of his dead self, and learns that what causes people to do evil is actually physically represented in the brain and it’s possible to get them out. So to do this he goes into another dimension filled with giant shampoo bottles and panda babes…. you know, it’s probably best if you read it for yourself. It came together quite nicely when I read it but I’m afraid a bit would be lost in my transcribing it. It’s a completely unique comic experience, that’s for sure. You might be creeped out, you might be confused, but there’s no chance in the world you can read this and be bored. $2

Treeby Kooba #1

Once again, I read the issues of a series out of order, only this time it might have even made a difference. This is the “origin story” or Jeremy, detailing his times throughout the ages being reincarnated over and over and over again as all sorts of different things. Based on reading this issue, I’m not sure if Jeremy is supposed to be Treeby Kooba or if Treeby is just a pal who shows up in his dreams, but I suppose it’s not important. The vast majority of the issue is dedicated to Jeremy finally landing in his current body and growing up in the 80’s. If that sounds too normal to you, well, no. There are a couple of thoroughly bizarre dreams in here as well as the fact that Jeremy, having been reincarnated so many times, apparently notices the opposite sex much earlier than other children, like at 4 and a half. A fantastic read again, this one might be more “normal” if people are afraid to just dive right into the insanity of the second issue. $2
