Outrun giants, doppelgängers, angels and a slave-driving cat on an adventure through time to the origin of humanity in Entropy.
Aaron Costain´s Entropy follows a golem with a surprisingly modern sensibility, and an even more modern sense of style, as he backtracks through millennia to understand his own creation. Entropy takes place at the intersection of the world´s cultures. Mythologies and religions cross-pollinate, bleed into one another, and form a new soul from synthesis - or they will if our epic hero can outrun man-eating giants, a vicious army of crows, a mute doppelgänger, an angel and one very manipulative, slave-driving cat. Entropy delivers an all-time adventure.
I absolutely love the way it looks. The series wasn´t on my radar beforehand, but a certain print caught my eye as I was walking by the table, and I ended up leaving with both the print and all four collections of the comic that he had on hand. - MTV News Aaron Costain eschews witless gloss in favour of economy and nonetheless offers an immersing experience... ...As a cartoonist, Costain appears to intuitively grasp the medium´s ability to act as a receptacle for outside thoughts and impressions. He gives the reader ample room to breathe, and, in doing so, lends his work a certain depth. In one of his encounters, the golem refers to the work of Haruki Murakami; though removed from Murakami in many ways, Costain has a similar talent for telling dream-like stories without the tedium that usually accompanies other peoples´ dreams. - Broken Pencil This is a brutal story that leaves you cautiously eyeballing your own cats as they slink through your house. - Size Matters Costain likes to take his time and make the reader think about the physical reality of both mundane and highly strange activities. - High-Low
