“I love the fact that this is so clearly a complete puzzle in Dylan’s head and he’s only giving us the corner pieces. As long as it makes sense in the end and the stories are compelling in the meantime, I have something approaching limitless patience for this sort of thing. If you don’t, well, there are plenty of self-contained graphic novels and the like all over this website, check those out. For those of you who don’t mind taking your time for an eventual big reward, I can’t recommend this series highly enough.” Kevin Bramer, Optical Sloth

Reporter #6

“This story is set 1956 and it’s about a newly hired reporter going to a company party at his bosses house. He goes with a wife and they go around talking to other staff members about a variety of topics of the day like the Korean War, working in the comic industry and religion. Sprinkled along the way is how got his job and the tale of 3 blind men describing an Elephant. The Elephant tale is pretty well known and I’m a bit surprised told the story rather than just reference it.
I found myself liking the lead character Adam, and the general story of him wandering around in a party talking to different people. It had a fun and intelligent feel to it. The story is a nice done in one that had a decent ending too.” Jamie Coville, Collector Times
