Title: Concepcion
Publisher: Pretentious Comics
Date: 2008
Writer: Rickey Gonzales
Artist: Rickey Gonzales
Sixteen-page half-sized minicomic, labeled as "for mature readers" due to some non-sexual nudity.
A woman contemplates the concepts of age, mortality, and the nature of God. Framed around her taking a shower, the title character introduces her living son, as well as loved ones she has lost. She reflects on stories from the Bible and gives voice to the questions that she has developed about her own faith.
This is a nicely thoughtful comic that makes very effective use of the character's voice and her own uncertainty about the issues she is questioning. The secondary characters help to ground the story and to make it feel distinctive.
Rating: 8/10
