Heavy Liquid by Paul Pope
4.0
I took awhile to finish this, but that was mostly from lack of appropriate times to get back "into" it, because it's a dense atmosphere that makes up 'Heavy Liquid'. Out of 5 stars, I lean more toward 3.5, only because I "liked it+" and it had some moments where I couldn't make out what I was seeing in a panel or two. That's mostly Pope's frenetic art stylings, and not necessarily a flaw.
Either way, this is a cool, broody book, kinda set in the future-ish. At least, there are some gadgets and such that elevate the "now-ness" of the story—pretty sure it's a fifty-to-a-hundred years on, or so.
Lastly, already I've compared Pope's art to Nathan Fox's, so I knew what I'd get here, and am glad I did. Pretty original stuff, and art that can really hook you.
