Salt is the sequel to Daniel Boyd’s Carbon comic, which was focused on Heat Hatfield and his return to his coal mining hometown of Eden Hallow. At the end of that comic the town had been thrust into a terrifyingly dark and dangerous situation after Eden Energy led to the rise of dangerous beings from underground, while also triggering a massive fire and polluting all of the resources within the vicinity of the mines. With the heat rising the survivors were making their way to Charleston, where they learn the current Commander-in-Chief, a member of the newly created Liberty Party who has taken over command after the death of the president and a number of other high ranking officials, has set up his base of operations. Much like in Carbon, we open with a religious discussion of what has just happened and the frighteningly dangerous heat. Continue reading “Salt @CaliberComics Review from @kleffnotes”
Carbon opens at the start of the universe and the creation of humans, but they aren’t the only beings crawling out of the primordial ooze. Our initial narrator, God himself, describes the rise of sheves. These winged beasts are only female, but even though they don’t need to reproduce with males, they attack the human males. The humans pray to God for protection and safety from the dangerous sheves. God creates a new underground world for the immortal winged beings filled with everlasting light. As society evolves, the earth becomes contaminated and punishment is meted out against them. The sheves and humans are thrown together in the darkness. With faith declining, God begins to fade away, which feeds into the rise of Eden Energy, a company on the quest for ever burning coal. Continue reading “Carbon @CaliberComics Review from @kleffnotes”

The Tower of the Comic Book Freaks is a graphic novel by Ron Kasman that follows five late teenage Toronto men on their journey to the New York Comic Convention in 1971. Kasman’s work is a fictional story of finding your way in the world of comics, though he does reveal that aspects of it are related to his own experiences as a fan of comics. I typically am not drawn toward comics that focus on every day people, but there was something about Kasman’s work that drew me in.
