Cemetery Kids Don’t Die
I’m loving the output from Oni Press this year, and this latest keeps that streak going for me.
It’s still a shitty 21st century, and kids are taking on a new gaming craze called The Dreamwave, a system where they play the game ‘Nightmare Cemetery’ in their sleep.
Very Cronenberg and the ‘console’ has a very organic look to it, really reminded me of eXistenZ and the organic nature of the console in that film.
The game people are playing is a rock solid fantasy sci-fi where a group has to delve through various poisonous and horrific levels to beat ‘The King of Sleep’
This would be brutal enough but the game and real life start to blend and eventually the mind of one of the players is trapped in the game.
Follow the group as they delve through personal problems and loss to save their brother/friend.
Loved the art style, very energetic and brought to mind a console game when you were deep into it.
Looking forward to returning to this world, watch out carefully on the last few panels.
I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
