Skin & Earth is a story of a girl looking for hope in a hopeless world. Caught between romance and cults, gods and mortals, and just trying to find a good borscht, Enaia Jin is lead down a dark path by new lovers that reveal a twisted fantasy world and her own true nature. Set in a post-apocalyptic future where corporations rule, this adventurous tale of loneliness, deceit and self-discovery begins here! Written and drawn by alt-pop phenomenon Lights, Skin & Earth ties directly into her next full length album, released in Fall 2017 on Warner Bros Records.

Just as good as the first time reading each issue. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

I liked this more than I thought I would. To get the full experience, I read as I listened to the album. There are a few lines that come straight from the songs that feel a bit indulgent, not fitting extremely well into dialogue, but much of it was really cool to see the correlation of the two mediums. Some of the story feels a bit meandering and expositional, but by issue six (the last issue) I was definitely invested. The artwork, of course, is gorgeous and the dystopian setting is really cool on the page. And I loved the TMNT reference. I'm ready for more!
