Among The Panels.Metaphysical Neuroma #0
Writer: Attila Adorjany
Artist: Attila Adorjany
Publisher: 600 Pound Gorilla
Price: $0.99 – DigitalOkay, so picture yourself falling down a hole. While you are falling the walls around you start to glow and show you your life. As they show you what you have seen and not remembered; your memories themselves divulge their own secrets that rip and tear at who you are inside.
Yeah, that’s
Metaphysical Neuroma. If you go out and get this; get ready to be blown away.
This is one of the greatest comics, no, one of the greatest things I have ever read.
I don’t know why it elicited such high emotion in me but I was visibly elated while reading.
The story is based on a scrolling mechanic that works well in the PDF version I read. I don’t think this comic would work that well in print but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to put my hands all over it.
Okay, on to the story! Our unknown lead character is dying or so we are lead to believe. In his dying moments he is watching his life in the form of spliced together movie sequences and airline emergency documentation. His brain tells him that he can break up his life into three moments. We barely see what is going on as we are led down the rabbit hole of images that help forge the interesting brain we are now part of. As we get to the end of this book the pages lose their color and it just kind of fades away.
It was heartbreaking and awe inspiring at the same time. It takes balls to end a comic like that.
Only I hope he meant to end it that way. This story is so strong that even reading it again I came to the same conclusion. It’s near perfect.
Attila has a style all his own and he shines beautifully here.
There are just so many images that are captivating and relevant. His choice of paneling and colors will honestly grab your heart and squeeze. The images popped off my screen like nothing I have ever seen before. The way he chose to have images overlap their own panels and manipulate what you are looking it, while trying to figure out what the hell is going on. The information in this story feels real and I have to think that some of this comes from Attila’s life and it connected with me on a ton of levels.
This comic is what I have been waiting for, for a very long time. It’s fresh and unlike anything I have ever read before. This is what the comic book industry should try and emulate.
Go to
Comixology right now and search for this comic. It is only a dollar. I can’t stress this enough, it is more than more your time and money to read this comic. Support the cause and I will be share this with everyone I meet.
