Nod Away Vol. 1 [Paperback]

Cotter skillfully examines the homogenization of society. The artwork is clever and precise, reminiscent of R. Crumb's, and the realism helps heighten the tension as things begin to go very wrong.What makes the work so compelling is Cotters ability to let things unfold at a precise pace, allowing us to get to know the characters and setting up a sequence of drama that doesnt really give you the tools to guess what is coming next. And yet with each unexpected moment, the actions of the characters, because he has given such care to them, remain true and consistent, becoming the anchor in the wild ride.Joshua Cotter's unique and exquisitely dense dystopian science fiction tale is a provocative commentary on our rapid technological progress and the abject effect it can have on humanity.For centuries THEY said the only good exports from the rural Midwest were marijuana and yard art but now THEY are all scrambling to learn the name JOSH COTTER because THEY are stupid and names like JOSH COTTER are hard for THEM to pronounce. Missouri may as well be Mars  there is no one in comics like Josh Cotter. There are no comics in comics like Josh Cotters. Josh is like a weird antenna picking up signals only he can hear and broadcasting out these stunning and beautiful waves of strangeness and delight. We are all better off for it, and for him. This stupid goddamn toilet industry deserves so much less than the likes of him and his work.In this sci-fi graphic novel, a woman seeks to develop a way to move the innernet (internal internet) hub from a human child to an electronic nexus.
