@ Indie Pulp– Strange Science Fantasy #1

By Scott Cederlund in Review, comics

I don’t think I’ve posted a link to my review of Scott Morse’s Strange Science Fantasty #1 that’s up at Indie Pulp right now.

As you might expect, then, the world of the Gearheads has no rules and follows its own logic or anti-logic to such an extreme you might as well be experiencing a headtrip.  Their leader can literally have a headlamp for a head.  They create an army out of zoo animals and dub their weaponized gorilla V-Eighp.  They live in a world where all they want to do is race, not because it’ll make them famous or rich, but because they just want to go fast.  As Morse tells his story, he creates an almost epic science fiction poem about jalopies, cyborg animals and war.  It’s about the freedom, man.  It’s about keys and pink slips and how “The Man” just wants to control, commoditize and package them.
