  All-Comic - Matthew Strackbein

  Sep 27, 2016

  As fun a read as it may be,theartwork is the hook, whichprovidesan atmosphere that is both comforting and creepy. It's that very contrast that defines Allison's stylistic charm. His illustrations appear as gently molded clay wrapped around wire frames only tobe bent and stretched to suit the fringes of Allisons artistic notions. Beneath the surface of perfectly placed delicate line work is a densely complex pile of wiring and technology that makes us wonder what else may be hiding. Likewise Allison's colors aresoothing blends of cyan, yellow and magenta with strategic andimpactful doses of toxic lime-greens and unsaturated, withered tones of grey. The book's art, much like the story, isnt something just anyone could emulate or copy. Like a great rock and roll anthem, lots of people will want to try their hand at making an equally impressive product, but theres only one Matthew Allison and theres only one Cankor. Luckily this is the first of four issues and it debuts online at Allisons Read Full Review
