Prima Materia by Kade McClements. $15, 36 pages, full color.

If you haven't had the pleasure of reading work by McClements before, start here. We at Domino are excited for this work, as we've carried McClements comics for many years, and feel that this is the absolute best comic he has made to date---which is saying a lot, as his earlier works are stellar in their own right. McClements work offers a level of skill and focus that sets him apart from many of his peers, there is an interest in not just the 'idea' of genre but the execution involved in the best genre comics, filtered through an embrace and understanding of art comics at their highest. The result is one of the most unique and layered comics you are likely to read this year, a narrative full of real pain and humor, post Fort Thunder filtered through Grant Morrison but far far beyond what that suggests.
