PLASTIC FARM: FERTILIZER - 1 week away

Bulletin:

X-posted.

Bridging the gap between Plastic Farm Part One and the forthcoming Plastic Farm Part Two (available sometime in 2009), this 134 page masterpiece of a graphic novel is sure to screw up your brain and make you question your own place in the universe.

Mostly detailing the early years of psycho killer Jonathan Picanos and his life with the Farmland Spiritual Cooperative, FERTILIZER also features a Frank and Benny parable drawn by Jake Warrenfeltz and an Eliza Dorne mystery drawn by Wendi Strang-Frost!

Dave Sim read most of Fertilizer and said "Well, that was really good...It is seriously weird stuff but this particular chunk of story – which is definitely JAKA'S STORY-paced – helps to clarify the nature of the weirdness through indirect implication and to really address the adversarial relationship between the Brethren and the Farmland."

"I think one of the really interesting things is the way so many guys are starting to clue in to the extent to which you can juxtapose words and pictures in the comics medium. We're all raised on television and movies where the two are kept pretty close together but in comics you can "say" one thing while "showing" something completely different because the eye can double back for clarification a lot more easily. There's no "rewind" button in a movie theatre. We're just starting to explore the boundaries of that. Rafe has picked up on the fact that the sky is, pretty much, the limit. "

If that doesn't make you want to read this, then you must hate comics.
