Flip book, with both halves contributing to a single overall storyline. Callum, a musician out on the road with his band, can't get the woman he broke up with out of his dreams, and his dreams always show her dead. Meanwhile, back in Montreal, the woman of Callum's dreams is being stalked by a mysterious man who's seeking a leather jacket that she gave to Callum.
This comic is just a small part of an ambitious multimedia experience that includes blogs and twitter feeds for characters in the story as well as an iPhone app. Although I haven't sampled the full array of online material, I was impressed with the storytelling in the two parallel plots in this comic. This is an intriguing tale with strong romantic elements and hints of a deeper mystery. Good dialogue and supporting characters too.
Rating: 8/10
