Aldous Ellis is dying. The past and the future are colliding. The truth is revealing itself.
A book like The Tomorrows is open to a love of interpretive reading and that's always fascinating to see what each reader brings to it because of their own beliefs and backgrounds. I'm still not sure of the overall connective storyline here and feel like I'm on uncertain ground. Each installment certainly stands on its own as an intriguing short form story and each artist brings something magical to it. Andrew MacLean deals with this kind of near future storyline with pitch perfect artwork for it, reminding me of some of my favorite indie books from the 80's during the first waves of the black and white boom where styles really expanded and exploded. His work here is just striking and full of expression that drew me in all the more. This chapter feels like we're at the tipping point and about to look into the abyss – and that's both exciting and frightening. Read Full Review
That's what this book is, really. A series of looks, through different lenses, at our world a few years from now, at the repercussions of our current course, and a call to arms.

It's an anomaly, one you have to read for yourself but one I enjoyed very much. Read Full Review
