I've got much the same to say as other did. The art really is fantastic it's where the burnt of my rating is. The writing is not where this shines. Some are fun but for the most part I was just really enjoying the crazy good art. Enough that it out weighs most all the short comings. If he teamed up with a writer I could see some fantastic work coming out from him. Keep an eye on this creator

Great drawing and art but it's lacking proper writing, characterisation or seemingly a real purpose.

Stylistically, it seems James the Stanton and Max Clotfelter share some DNA. Full of melting forms and sprouting biology, Stanton's comics seem to flow directly from his subconscious. There's a humor that runs throughout the collection, but I would've welcomed a little more depth just to add variety.

Art is wonderful, but the humor is a bit hit or miss for me. I guess I'm to the point where drug culture isn't amusing any more.

What on all that is holy did I just read...pleasantly pleased. Saw the cover a the local library and grabbed on the way out. Quirky, funny, abstract, etc.
