Review by RUN THE COMICS 5K's Matt Lowder . . . . .
I BREATHED A BODY (Aftershock Comics, January 2021 release) Writer: Zac Thompson. Artist: Andy MacDonald. Colors: Triona Farrell. Letters: Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou.
I’m fascinated by sociology and technology’s fusion with our interactions. The evolving cultural vocabulary online continues to be a marvelously horrific, equalizing, and homogenizing force.
I BREATHED A BODY is a very unique fusion between horror and societal concepts. There's great set-up here.
Anne Steward has made a career out of polishing and marketing an internet personality teenager named Mylo. She's been successful behind the curtain, and now she wants equity in the MyCena social media empire she helped grow.
It’s like a Black Mirror episode. It’s timely, honest, authentic, and it’s pitch-perfect if you enjoy this kind of thing.
By page six, it became abundantly clear that the writer expertly understands the picture he’s painting about the impact and reach of viral videos, and the callousness of corporations that profit from manufactured sensationalism.
The contents of this issue are more nuanced and less gory than the cover leads on. The final two or three pages are among the most memorable I’ve read this year. Issue #1 hits shelves in January. ComicHub it, people. RATING: FOUR OUT OF A POSSIBLE FIVE STARS.
