Jessica Farm, Vol. 1 by Josh Simmons

3.0

Josh Simmons draws one comic page a day until 2050, culminating in a 600-page nothing.

Disturbing and inventive, Jessica Farm is--if nothing else--a fascinating experiment in fairly impromptu storytelling. The pace is quicker, the action is punchier. Jauntier, more angular, at times it could use some space to breathe. But for what it is, I like it.

As I've mentioned before, Josh Simmons goes to some extreme places, touches nerves. At times, it feels a little much, but at the same time, it's an extremity that's uniquely his. I go back and forth on it.

Nevertheless. I'm excited to check out subsequent volumes, and keep track until 2050. Whether you stick with it or not, check this first volume out.
