it was free, the art was nice, so i brought it home. it was a fun read. i loved the reggie-12 robot, so i even did some drawings of him that i never completely finished (pretty certain i can find them on my harddrive if i look). the comic was slightly larger than a standard issue, so i don't think it ended up in a longbox, but it is somewhere. after reading this comic, i did something abnormal: i didn't look into the artist/writer/anything further. no idea why.
anyways, flash forward to this year. i hear about MoCCA, and see that a couple people i like will be there. so i went. while walking around, i come across a guy selling 3 volumes of a comic called "daybreak". the interior art looks neat, and they are not super expensive, so i bought the whole trilogy. while looking up an image for this post, i saw that the same guy did both reggie-12 and daybreak. i bought both without knowing.
last week i read all three, then re-read them the next night.
daybreak does a thing i've never seen before in comics. it makes me (or whoever is reading) a character in this book. the plot is an unexplained post-apocalypse style world with these light-hating monster things. they are just black shapes. anyways, you/me are a survivor of this, and the other main character runs around with you trying to survive. it's really neat. but, each book ends where you want to read more. while at mocca, brian ralph mentioned there may be a 4th book, which would be nice, but i'd love to see it going for a while longer.
you can buy volume one here, but i know you won't.
