Escapo by Paul Pope (swampygirl)
swampygirl: The art styles and genre vibe [of all Paul Pope's work that I've read so far] are very similar.

The long awaited new series by the creator of the popular all-ages Bone chronicles, the mature audiences science fiction tale Rasl centers around the eponymous dimension-hopping thief. Drawn in Smith's trademark clean, cartoony style, Rasl Volume 1: The Drift entertains and thrills while introducing a complex, interesting tale. Sadly, the volume is all too short, leaving the reader unsatisfied and yearning for more of what promises to be an excellent adventure tale. (

Some interesting ideas but not my favourite genre. Interesting plot. (

I fully admit that I really don't comprehend the science behind the drift and the parallel universes but I do find the mystery interesting. I want to know who the lizard man is why he and RASL are the only ones who can travel and what happened between RASL and Maya. I like the black and white art. I feel like it adds to the mood of the story. (
