The body count is rising. Terrance and Kleio are the only ones who know about the cult's plot. But can they stop it? Do they want to? Also: A Party at the Coppola Mansion and the origin of Daddy Long Legs.
Less comic book and more meditation on western culture through a self-aware satirical lens, Mayday is a book I think I’ll remember for a long time. Something between a philosophy text book and Fast and the Furious does Fear and Loathing mashup, it’s a smart thing that demonstrates the strengths of the creators here in the best ways.

I call it anti-noir because while the story uses the L.A. Weirdness, actors, a self-destructive white male protagonist (the script calls Terrence this at least three times) and lots of drugs, the style is all its own. The colours are vivid, like every scene is bathingneon lights. Petersons art is very eye-catching in the hues. The book looks great from start to finish. I highly recommend Mayday #2 to fans of postmodern fiction, the works of Grant Morrison and Ales Kot, and anyone looking for an interesting new book by a couple of incredibly talented creators.

Love it, solid 4 out of 5. I really hope the writers can keep up this level of momentum. Read Full Review

Okay. Something happened here. This comic just got a lot 'smarter'. The villain is shown to have crossed over with the protagonist via flashback. Neat. The origin of the villain's insanity is depicted and echoes back to a rant he gave in issue #1. Strong. But then there is a forth-wall breaking bit of post-modernism (or "meta" as the internet seems to love to call it). Very cool. And the notes? In the first issue there was just one side-note and it was a soundtrack suggestion. Here we get at least a half-dozen notes at the bottom of certain pages that do a variety of things: point out allusions, echo dialogue, provide context, or get poetic. Excellent. Although there was a shift away from the real "authentic" profanity-laden dialogue I appl more
