Plastic Farm #8

A couple more reviews from SPACE and then I'll spend some time reviewing comics and manga I pick up at Anime Boston.

Title: Plastic Farm
Issue: #8
Date: December 2004
Publisher: Plastic Farm Press
Writer: Rafer Roberts
Artist: Rafer Roberts

"A Fistful of Inferno" finally brings back the Kamikaze Kid, who was first introduced in an extended story in Plastic Farm #1. He's gotten multiple mentions since then, but this is our first chance to see him in action.

Action, in this case, means a lengthy monologue on the nature of reality and the universe. It's largely incoherent, but backed up by some really beautiful artwork showing the Kid making his way through a series of hellish landscapes following a succession of exit-signs.

There's also a confrontation with a creature that resembles a rat with four eyes.

The rambling got a bit difficult to follow, but this was a great issue visually, and it did serve to advance the overall plot.

Rating: 7/10
