Get Over It

by Mary Shyne

Cyclist Leslie got more than a lousy tip on her last delivery: she stumbled onto an experimental lab that makes grappling with your inner demons into an actual FIGHT.

Reluctantly, Leslie finds herself recruited by the lab to track down an inner demon spawning other inner demons. But even in a city famed for its neuroses, Leslie might not need to leave the block to find the monster...

I had the pleasure of reading this comic in progress, and it's so wonderful to see the whole story collected in one compact, two-color volume. The story is packed with actions and emotions. Sixteen-year-old Leslie is a bike-messenger for her father's restaurant in Manhattan. On a delivery to a lab at NYU, she stumbles on a psychology student trapped inside her own research experiment: the manifestation of all of her past traumas in the form of an angry energy monster. Leslie has been able to see these creatures, or miasmas, since birth but usually they can't interact with the physical world. In the lab Leslie find a gauntlet which allows her to fight against the trauma beast, bringing up more questions than answers. What does it mean that Leslie can see these creatures, when no one else can without the aid of technology? What will happen when she accidentally activates the miasma of her anxious, over-baring father? And most importantly, will ANYONE she delivers to today tip??? WTF, people! I know that Mary Shyne is deeply influenced by her love of shonen manga and also her many years as a biker in NYC, both of which show in this beautifully drawn, exciting story.
