Monochromatic yet saturated with life, marginalia surrounding the solid panelling. Delves into delusion, judgement, and the urge to not exist, with nihilism and melodrama giving way to the absurd. Absorbing.

Prokaryote Season totally knocked my socks off. Messy queers in love, T4T romance, creepy aliens, surreal setting, and some really f*cking cool paneling. This is my shit. The paneling looks somewhere between the Brady Bunch intro and medieval manuscripts, and despite being printed in black and white, the art is unbelievably lush (appropriate for a story that takes place primarily in a forest).
The odd but relatable characters plus the dreamy setting and parties full of random creatures are giving a little bit of Adventure Time, but make it less family-friendly. Starman is easily the strangest and creepiest character, and he has the most sarcastic cartoon face I've ever seen (this is a compliment).
There’s more to say here about how Prokaryote Season is yet another book that includes the confluence of medieval aesthetics, dirtbag queer romance, gothic ambience, and weird art -- looking at you, Locked Tomb!

I love Leo Foxes work. His writing encapsulates a sort of “teenage dread”, that cynicism and melodrama of existing as a young adult. I loved the hypocrisy of each character and also the way that Sydney’s autism was portrayed like some sort of jury, weighing the morals of every action. I think it’s a beautifully symbolic representation of the trials of neurodivergence and trans-ness, just the sort of absurdist queer drama I’d come to expect from the artist. The cover and print is gorgeous too.

intriguing, special, gorgeous artstyle. beautiful existential teenage identity angst story that got oh so wonderfully encapsulated in this comic. loved it so much! Leo Fox's art and thoughts always feel so good to read and look at, in this very real and relatable sort of way.
