lb_lee"That hit you're feeling deep in your lizard brain is your essence untethering from this plane. Where you're going... Well, I hope you packed a strong sense of self..."
Blurb: After losing her magic and washing out of wizard school, overachiever Percy Mori becomes a superintendent of an apartment building with Leeds, a rogue familiar who senses what others want from him and feels compelled to obey... not a good character trait in a super. In Chapter 5, a burglar(?) sends them to the abstracted realm, which is built on Percy and Leeds's psyches... and they both have baggage. Percy has to join forces with her past self to get them out... or does she?
Why is it worth your time?: Ota and Hirsh's art is gorgeous. The colors are lush, the inks fluid; at least two of my comics colleagues were inspired to go into the field because of their work. Chapter 5 is the only one with pluralish content, but the whole thing is worth reading, especially since it's free online. Percy's struggle with reconciling her intense ambition with her ethics, and struggling to discover who she is when she can't overachieve, is powerful, and so is Leeds wrestling to hold to himself when he's constantly bombarded with the psychological tugs of other people. This is a beautiful comic, absolutely worth your time.

Access Notes: Not transcribed, the print copy will hopefully be coming out soon. So far, only available online.
Misc Notes: Chapter 5 can be read on its own, but it really is best to read the whole thing.
Read Chapter 5 here! Or, read the whole thing from from the start!
