Deniz Camp views our societal problems through the perspective of poor civilians suffering through a cosmic superhero crisis event. The time loops, dimension slips, and doppelgangers that usually vex the metas, mutants and superfolk fall upon poor schmucks just trying to get through their workday and family life.
It took me a moment to get in the groove and warm up to the book since each chapter introduces a new cast with new problems, but the third one that touches on immigration and show more xenophobia really hooked me and the next chapters just kept sinking the barb in deeper as they visited a hapless guy racing through life without agency and a young woman coping with the domestic violence she saw as a child.
So, yeah, heavy topics, but given a fresh new perspective through bizarre vignettes and illustrations that work perfectly to enhance the edge, horror, and wonder of the words.
I'm eager to see the second volume.
Disclosure: I received access to a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.com.
