Twenty-First Century Myth Family from Dave Sims

Picture
The details in Dave Sims’s Twenty-First Century Myth Family move a reader through a stylized series of moments punctuated by contemporary concerns regarding information permanency, egocentric POV obsession and, naturally, the arrival of aliens.

The imagery dominating the panels is ...​
post-apocalyptic tribal and sync up to an unspoken undercurrent within the story with such a precision that they were a welcome reminder that I wasn’t the first person to visualize where these words could take a reader’s mind.

The final image, contrary to the violent, earthy tones sculpting the rest of the collection, is paletted in an almost photocopier low-on-toner black and white, and while it jarred the ending during a first read, with time the image’s disconnect morphed into a well-placed reminder that this reality, for the time being, is still just a story--right?
