"THE END OF ANHEDONIA"
Via therapeutic hypnosis, a man travels through his subconscious to try to find his inner child-and a way to be happy again.
A comic that doesn't look like any other comic ever made, this issue is done in full collage art by the spectacular ALEX ECKMAN-LAWN-a veritable dream in four colors.
The end is almost here; this is just one of many SWAN SONGS.
Perhaps I was expecting something a bit cleaner than what they wanted to give me. It could also be my inability to see something that is clearly there. I do get the sense this is a type of issue that gets better the more times you read it. Still, that was my experience, but the beauty of art is that we can experience it differently. Read Full Review
"The End of Anhedonia" is set entirely in a single therapy session, which might make Swan Songs #5 sound like the dullest entry in the series to date, but an impressive application of fumetti effects by artist Alex Eckman-Lawn and metaphorical construction of the protagonist's mindscape makes it a highlight in this already impressive series.

Swan Songs #5 is another great issue of the miniseries, a story about an everyman named Albert that will terrify you at times and tug at your heart at others. Read Full Review
Trippy and enjoyable with a fun artistic take. You never truly get the answer though so some will like that, others will not.
A wonderful issue. Very thought provoking.
