A compelling story told through the increasingly macabre experiences of a homeless man living on the increasingly gentrified streets of Vancouver. This story explores the lengths to which people can and will go to institutionalize the dehumanization and vilification of homeless people, literally turning the homeless of Vancouver into nothing more than meat for the city’s elite to consume. It’s truly horrifying and haunting—not because it’s a horror story but because it is all too real.

Social criticism done right in a graphic novel. This tackles gentrification, addiction, poverty, and apathy in Vancouver's downtown eastside. This could have been so offensive, tasteless, and cruel. But instead it's a great commentary on the isolation of homeless populations and the metaphorical (and, in this case, literal) cannibalism of vulnerable people to make space for the wealthy and powerful. I'm waiting on the rest of these.

The first couple of pages were great, but I just couldn't get into this story. It felt slow and disjointed.
