[Ryan Mandelbaum · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one reminded me of some of Michael Deforges shorter, less linear works. A tough to define sense of loneliness and existential uncertainty represented by scattered and loosely connected moments of beauty and mundanity. Not sure how much I understood the story, or how much there was to understand, but the art was really beautiful and conveyed an atmosphere of melancholy effectively enough on its own. Not my favourite Sam Alden, but a really neat and as far as I am concerned successful experiment that I'm sure I'll return to again some day.

The ease at which the author conveys loneliness, nostalgia and creates a mystical ambience using just colour and pixels is amazing. Simply beautiful and a great read!
