Holy Lacrimony
by Michael Deforge
In the psychedelic latest from Canadian alt-comics mainstay DeForge (Big Kids), a moody musician gets abducted by an alien who manifests as a massive, multi-jawed mouth. Jackie, who’s drawn comically thin and corpse-like, is hauled out the window of his apartment by the alien’s creepy pseudopod and deposited in a blank blue room. A shape-shifting alien named Kara announces itself as his “apprentice” and declares that the two will create a series of performances to educate aliens about human emotions: “You won’t just teach me to cry, you’ll teach me how to mean it.”

Beat It, Rufus
by Noah Van Sciver
Rufus Baxter is too old to rock ’n’ roll but too young to die in this snarky character study of a human train wreck from Van Sciver (Fante Bukowski). The dirtbag rocker’s history of bad decisions and antisocial behavior have led him to a gig-to-gig subsistence, playing dive bars and cut-rate wedding receptions while living out of a storage unit in Denver. In his own words, he’s just “shambling forward... denying death its sweet treat.”
