Acclaimed actor John Cusack and celebrated international artist Ignacio Noé deliver a wild, genre-bending road trip with cosmic stakes.
Acclaimed actor John Cusack and celebrated international artist Ignacio Noé deliver a wild, genre-bending road trip with cosmic stakes. Two fugitives form an uneasy alliance on a mission tied to none other than Jackie Gleason—yes, that Jackie Gleason—and quickly find themselves in way over their heads. What follows is a surreal collision of pulp sci-fi, occult mystery, and dark humor, packed with bizarre encounters, buried secrets, and forces far beyond their control. As reality starts to crack and loyalties fray, one thing becomes clear: this trip could save the world… or end it in spectacular fashion.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The ambitious graphic novel debut by actor Cusack (Things That Can and Cannot Be Said) features a daring road trip adventure as drawn by Argentinian artist Noé (Aldana). Set in 1972, the tale of two outlaws on the run—taciturn Johnson and skeptical Tina Louise—is divided into three acts. The first, modeled on French new wave films like Breathless, finds the duo traversing the American heartland and developing a wary bond. Things get weirder in the second act, when they're joined by Doc, a hyperpatriotic government operative who sets them on a search for the hidden headquarters behind a government conspiracy involving aliens, Richard Nixon, and Jackie Gleason. From there, chaos and otherworldly beings enter the frame as the narrative transforms into an increasingly surreal combination of kaiju films and Hunter S. Thompson. Cusack's style is cinematic; his dialogue has the flavor of both Quentin Tarantino and Jim Jarmusch. Noé's deliberately rough-hewn art is effective in the dingy road trip sequences, but falters in the more cosmic final pages. Still, the perfectly executed, hilarious closing sequence ends on such a high note it does much to excuse any flaws. Cusack is unlikely to quit his day job, but this suggests he could have a viable backup plan in comics. (July)
