Another item from the random stack of unread comics.
Title: Lackluster World
Issue: 5
Publisher: Generation Eric Publishing
Date: February 2008
Writer: Eric Adams
Artist: Eric Adams
My wife and I have been following Eric Adams' work since we met him at our first time attending SPACE., the Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo, in Columbus OH. We got this issue at SPACE 2008.
This is the fifth issue in Eric Adams' saga about a young man named Fahrenheit (his siblings are names Celsius and Kelvin). This issue is almost entirely a flashback to Fahrenheit's childhood, dealing with abuse from his older brother and a bullying environment at school. It's heartbreaking, and there are some unexpected details and moments, as well as some insights into the characters that are central to the story as we get to see them as children.
This was powerful storytelling, and the artwork did an effective job of bringing out the emotional impact of the story.
Trigger warning for animal abuse (a necessary part of the story, and certainly not glorified, but still disturbing).
Rating: 8/10
