UR by Eric Haven

4.0

Wow, this was one weird little comic, and I mean that in a good way. Rarely have I seen such bizarre heights of imagination condensed into such a short, compact piece of work. Eric Haven, who I had never heard of before picking this up but who is best known for sketching out the whiteboard myth experiments on MythBusters, has a comic imagination not seen since Gary Larson, but with art that recalls vintage comic styles of the past. Collecting a series of comic shorts, taking us from one surreal, hilariously ludicrous scene to another, from Earth to the depths of space. Including the complete utter madness of "Man-Cat," the superheroic shenanigans of "Bed Man,"a blink and you'll miss it Bill Watterson reference, and the bad luck pathos of Race Murdock, who finds himself being killed by a crazed flying squirrel among other unfortunate ends, you really never know what to expect next- needless to say, in spite of a certain childlike daydream, this is not really one for the kids! Still, the elaborate, ultra violent absurdist humor in UR makes it a pretty cool comic to flip through on a summer afternoon.
