Jesse Moynihan

An eon-spanning comedy, Forming details the spawning of worlds, and the trajectory of consciousness on Earth.

Forming

Gavin

Fun mix of William Blake, Go Nagai and Peter Bagge. So you have alien Biblical teenagers running around saying “pssh” and “whatever” and “ahhhhhh my transgender supermind is being hacked! Blech!”.

Ultimately about exploitation and the odd movement against it within exploitative societies. The apocalyptic Abrahamic stuff seems like mostly a foil, something to make the nudity and swearing pop.

The publisher’s name, Nobrow, sums it up pretty well. Forming is genuinely idiotic and sophisticated at the same time, and but this is all it is.

Civilization, but not quite as we know it, has started to take shape. And now, in the continuing chaos, the world and most of its inhabitants have brandished their swords and, in various fashions, have charged onto the battlefield. If Forming I hailed the birth of civilization and mapped out the genesis of life, mass, time and space, then Forming II is the raging war that ensues in the Universe's years of adolescence!
