Review: UNHNGD #1

September 20, 2017

By Justin McCarty

UNHNGD from Elijah Thomas, Jacob Newell, Josh Southall, and published by Advent comics is a solid start to a sort of reverse dystopian story. We follow Willow, a very busy girl in her neighborhood of Detroit. She is a bookstore clerk, a well-known friend to the underdogs in the area, and a volunteer at the New Beginnings Foundation. The story hints at social commentary concerning many of the headlines coming from Detroit and Michigan in the last few years.

Review: Condo Heartbreak Disco

June 20, 2017

By Wes Jones

Eric Kostiuk Williams’ Condo Heartbreak Disco is a superhero book that feels very little like a superhero book. We’re introduced to our amorphous, genderfluid, ancient deity heroes Komio and The Willendorf Braid in a near future Toronto. The bizarre couple attempts to save their city from very real and timely villainous force: gentrification, unaffordable housing, and an increasing class divide.
