I should hate this, but I don't.

3.5 stars

So...this wasn't enjoyable to read at all. This is the only time I've ever wanted to quit reading a single issue of a comic book; I mean, come on, they're only ~20 pages.

I'll admit, I didn't "get" this at all. Maybe if I had any idea what was going on, the art would've been more meaningful. The art was interesting and atmospheric insofar as the use of watercolor and intentionally visible colored pencil and pastel markings to create what I assume was supposed to be "intersected" personas and ideas. This is more of a "use the medium as a canvas" work, than one that has any narrative. It's possible that you might like this if you enjoyed the film Mulholland Drive...

I read a lot of comics, probably too many... most just wash over me, leaving me unaffected, white noise for the eyes and brain, visual blah. I want to be taken back to when I first read Sienkiwicz' Stray Toasters, Morrison's run on Doom Patrol, Kabuki, Ted McKeever...

Raw Fawkes, and this first issue of intersect has done just that. Made me excited about the possibilities and potentialities, made me think, made me admire the artwork. Dream/nightmare like writing that isn't spelling everything out to the reader makes me want more more more. Oh, the joys of catching up...

Wow, so that was a pile of NOTHING. Gorgeous surreal watercolour art that manages to completely obscure what the hell is actually happening. Short, curt (and admittedly realistic) dialogue that does nothing to explain the crazy situation. Anagrams, pages from zines, weird children's rhymes, unseen monsters, body horror… no. There is a finite amount of time in the world, and I don't have enough to buy another issue of this.

Ok I loved the artwork in this issue but I'm lost as to the point of this comic. To me it sounds like he's crazy and trying to deal with the death of Ali but I could be wrong. It was very hard to follow. I don't knew if I am going to continue on with comic series. I probably will try one more issue and see from there.

Ray had me at blood snowflakes.

Dream or nightmare, this pencil crayon/watercolour visual trip is awesome, poetic and refreshing.

Congrats fellow Canuck!

Must read.
