The writing and dialogue in this book reminded me of Moebius' Edena in that straddles adventure science fiction and a more allegorical type of storytelling. This lets the story be both a fun road trip a weird scifi world and a moving depiction of how we deal with the burdens we each carry. In the art the thing that stood out to me was the lettering. Every sound effect was incorporated into the action of the panel. The composition of each panel reminded me Picasso's Guernica in the way that shapes bend and melt around each other and yet, the action being conveyed was always still readable. I will definitely be revisiting this story as I'm sure there is more to uncover.
