"Your specialty are funny images on the internet."
"I, uh... study discussions of white right-wing nationalists in their online communities."
"Funny images. They share funny images."
"They're not funny. They're mostly unimaginative and... well, very racist."
[Quote translated from German.]
Picked this up without knowing much about it but I'm very interested to see where this goes now.
The premise seems like a very interesting way to use real-world conspiracy theories in story with some fantasy elements without dismissing the very real dangerous aspects of conspiracy theories. It feels a little bit like Men In Black but with conspiracies instead of aliens and a darker tone.
There is a lot of potential for interesting uses of the conspiracies that swirl around these days and I'm looking forward to how they'll be used throughout the series. The first impression is quite strong.
I also love the smeared, dream-like art.
Here is hoping that it can keep up this engaging vibe throughout and doesn't end up losing itself in a muddled plot.
