Brandon is from Oregon in the US, but this series has a very European / Moebius feel to it. The story is part Star Wars, part Dune, Philip K Dick trippy and other worldly. The plot is not spelled out ever, but you can follow it for the most part. Once you get your head wrapped around it, there's always more new changing everything. I recommend it if you're into any of the above.

Les McClaine has been updating this album for the past eight years when he has time. It's not quite finished yet, but there's plenty of chapters & panels to read. He also includes insider commentary & sketches on how he produces the work, including using CAD software to design some of the buildings.

There are a few oddities about the strip, starting with why Jonny's perpetually dressed in a Halloween skeleton suit, but it pretty much becomes 'normal' after awhile. If you're a Tintin fan, you'll also love all the little tributes, even as the work is still completely original and fresh.

Btw-- thanks to @brettw@lemm.ee for starting this community. It was very much needed. I have a backlog of comics reviews, links & samples to share from my Reddit acct (same ID), some of which belong here.
