The Shape of Comics to Come by Derek Ballard

Derek Ballard returns to the comics zine format with The Shape of Comics to Come, a 36-page lashing of American contemporary culture. As if fueled by destitution rather than maimed, Ballard erects a makeshift tabernacle of rare sincerity with idiosyncratic Sunday funnies style and extends a cadence call hymn of welcome. These comics are just the MREs you need to keep on the firing line.
