A review by cantordustbunnies
Awaiting the Collapse by Paul Kirchner

4.0

Gorgeous comic book style artwork combined with a cool sarcastic tone and psychedelic imagery. A lot of 4th wall breakage and humorous yet highly sexual scenes with some meta or philosophical narratives sprinkled throughout. I would have liked for it to have either been a whole lot funnier or to have had a more serious tone but as it is it's just kind of lazily intriguing and stops short of being truly great. Kirchner's sense of style and perspective shifting is really what makes it. His short autobiography included within could be interesting for fans but isn't written with a great deal of verve. Altogether it is enjoyably quirky and a great example of the medium but just doesn't quite "go there."
