Runoff

by Tom Manning

Mysterious things are happening in Range, a small town in the shadow of Mount Rainier. The lives the inhabitants are at risk. Ghosts are running cars off the roads, wolves are roaming the streets, and before long deformed and savaged bodies turn up left and right. Runoff is dark, stylish, funny, visceral, and more than anything else: Unpredictable. Yes, before the narrative reaches its powerful conclusion there will be force-fields, ghosts, werewolves, tesseracts, talking animals, vampires, mummies, a dissertation on the fourth dimension, government conspiracies, comic strips, and, naturally, a municipal election.

Dark, funny, weird and twisted. I'm a new graphic novel reader, but this one is my favorite so far!

Another great piece of work from an amazing artist

! This is so weird and good. It is so deceptively complex and works in all the ways Twin Peaks worked with characters that we get to know and love and unexplained phenomena that unravels at just the right pace. Tom Manning does it all in a slow-burn with novelistic vision and an obvious work ethic. It’s rare to feel so satisfied by a comic book. The inking and art style is loose and varies with a rhythm that is quirky and just works. Thanks Kev for letting me borrow it for like a year. When I finally got around to opening it I couldn’t put it down all day!

Without a doubt, one of the best comic series I’ve ever read. This book is criminally overlooked. Read it.
