Lonely Receiver, by Zac Thompson, Jen Hickman (cover artist), and Simon Bowland (lettered)

Rating: 2 out of 5.

I’m going with 2 1/2 stars rounded down. The art was stunning, but the storyline was confusing. Actually, I feel like this could be a grand metaphor for life and technology and whatnot, but I just can’t fully see it. 

Anyway, it started off totally promising and I was really into it, but then things started to derail and get a bit weird… or a lot weird… By the end I was rereading pages because I kept thinking I must have missed something, but, like I said, the art is great throughout, I just couldn’t hang onto the story itself. 

I may or may not try to read the next volume. And I also can’t recommend this one. I’m sure there will be lots of people who will be totally into this,… just not me…

Thanks to NetGalley and Aftershock Comics for giving me the opportunity to read this for my honest and unbiased opinion.
