II<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What do you call a comic that isn&#8217;t a sketchbook but also isn&#8217;t a comic with any sort of linear story?\u00c2\u00a0 Let me know if you come up with something, because that&#8217;s what this book is.\u00c2\u00a0 Here&#8217;s how Matt describes the contents: &#8220;being a record primarily of the extra-planetary inhabitants of the pre-main sequence ternary star system AB Doradus&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 So, in other words, this is a comic with Matt doing what he does best: drawing completely random but somehow vaguely connected creatures that could not possibly exist in this world but quite possibly should.\u00c2\u00a0 Is that too long to use a description of his work?\u00c2\u00a0 Probably.\u00c2\u00a0 Personally, I miss his Spudd 64 story, but he seems to have gone in the direction of this and drawing an image for each page of Moby Dick (and you should really click on his website to check that stuff if ever read Moby Dick, he has over 250 images up already and it seems to be increasing steadily).\u00c2\u00a0 Usually there would be something here remotely resembling a review, but for this I got nothin&#8217;.\u00c2\u00a0 I can&#8217;t get enough of his artwork for whatever reason, so picking this up at SPACE was a no-brainer for me.\u00c2\u00a0 If you feel the same way about his stuff then it&#8217;ll be an equally easy choice for you.\u00c2\u00a0 If not, well, maybe you should try it out, either through this or some of the old issues of Spudd 64.\u00c2\u00a0 I had trouble picking the sample image, which is the only seal of approval a book like this needs from me.\u00c2\u00a0 No price, so I&#8217;m going to go with $4.<\/p>\n<p><a
