We pause for a moment as along comes the greatest comic book ever.
No, really.
The comic book in question is called Truth Serum and is/was being written and drawn by a certain Mr. Jonathan Adams and as all great works is probably enjoyed by aproximately 327 people the world over.
Yet;
This book is a severe punch. It hurts and really has no pretense about it being anything else than the little dirty dark secret behind everything; about the impossibility to connect and the willingness of it all.
This is beautiful in the way that a bad ending gives relevance to things instead of the cheap release of a happy ever after.
This is real2.0.
This is reverse utopia; making a run for everything that could be – by any means should be – by carefully eliminating what it´s not.
This is in no way bitter or cynical. This is the work of someone who truly, deeply cares. This is still hoping. Hoping that there really IS something more. There must be something more.
This is about keeping the delicate balance between deep and genuine care and the terrifying realization that, in the grand scheme of things, all it matters is aproximately nothing at all.
This is doing your worst, so life has no way of getting you first; getting you where it hurts.
This is like your best friends; annoying and clumsy at times but you miss ´em when they are not around; and there is really no way to be without them; because they shine and they rule and they are what is good in your life.
This in all its finality and consequence is the happy dance of the powerless.
If you like shit do NOT touch this.
