Welcome to the horror comic of the week, if you only have cash to pick up one comic this week make it “Intersect” #5.
Intersect is Ray Fawkes’ strange surreal look at what it means to be “intersected.” It’s a twisted take on body horror brought to life beautifully with water colors. The narrative has been organically uncanny, it’s as if you’re lost in a fever dream and the only way out is to keep digging deeper. The beauty of the entire thing is the interlocking sexuality that comes with being immersed in the pages. There is something about being intersected that is impossible to resist, and a little hard to fathom. “Intersect” continually proves itself a worthy entry in the canon of Cronenbergian Body-horror, not by being a cheap imitation but by doing something dynamically different and insane.
Eric Switzer has continually raved about the book.
Issue #5 is the penultimate issue of the first arc, “The drumbeat of revelation sounds in cracking streets and splintering bone. All survivors move into their final position and the scorching, monstrous truth of all things is poised to be witnessed, but not before a vicious battle unfolds…”
