I enjoy the Hologram series, especially because it is a "slow burn." I have a number of "Sunday Reads" which are those comics I want to settle down with along with a Dr. PEPPER and Three Musketeers bar and just get lost in the story. Right now, Hologram joins Teri S. Wood's Wandering Star as one of my Sunday Reads . I like "epic" and other long form stories where I can meet the protagonists and every supporting character they can I can interact with. I sort of treat my comic tastes as neo-literature. I love worlds to explore and lives to walk along side. I try to do this with The Improbable Girl and The Wonder Kitty. Initially, many many people could not understand what I am trying to do. I want Mari and Niko to be sort of like "friends" you know. I like yo think of your Joe character in a similar way. We have to empathize and live vicariously with the character in his plight. The longer we spend with him and those around him, the more we ought to care about what he experiences.

Glad you enjoy! It's funny how sequences of seven pages worth of content evolve into an "epic". I've grown to embrace this experiment in storytelling...each page is an entire story in itself. You can look at a page, read it...and then pause and consider what had to happen for that page to take place. Was it an adventure? A fight? A moment of introspection? Something else? Enjoy the read...but read Wandering Star first! Now, THAT'S an epic!

@FANzineLiveGuy Agreed! I have the hardcover version and it is exciting artwork and a well written story. I should point out that the upcoming "Candidate Calamity" began in a manner smiling to "Strange Times 5." wanted to illustrate a joke for a one pager in Yeet. It just exploded into a full story.
