The cover to the trade paperback of Memetic |
I’ve decided to continue recommending some of the best gay graphic novels of 2015 with Memetic, written by James Tynion IV, drawn by Eryk
Donovan, and colored by Adam Guzowski. Originally published by BOOM! Studios as
three oversized issues beginning in late 2014, it was collected in trade
paperback in October 2015. It’s a horror comic with a unique gay protagonist as
one of its centers and hidden philosophical depths that could be misconstrued
as ranting against technology, if the book weren’t tapping into very real
anxieties and longings. It upends the expectations of the reader several times
along the way to its stark conclusion.
