Even if you might not quite grasp what's happening in the stories, the artwork is so jaw-dropping that the search for meaning can be wholly abandoned in favor of simply absorbing the massive artistic achievement represented throughout the book. The Future is here, and it is glorious.-- \"Cinema Sentries\" Review Quotes : Musturi's multi-fragmented, multi-faceted series is an entirely different experience held together than reading it in single issues. ... the oversized formatting really gives the jaw-dropping art the presentation it deserves.-- \"Four Color Apocalypse\" Review Quotes : Musturi's striking aesthetic keeps you just off balance and always at attention. The experience is as unexpected as it is stimulating.-- \"The A.V. Club\" Review Quotes : Future mostly examines immiseration of the consumer class under capitalism, as projected through the lens of fantasy and science fiction. Musturi pulls no punches in showing how the modern condition alienates us from each other, how it destroys our creativity, how it changes our nature, and how it will spur our demise.-- \"The Comics Journal\" Review Quotes : A masterpiece. Musturi utilizes a range of different drawing styles, telling several different stories through the work that seemingly weave together a stunningly drawn narrative overwhelmingly nihilistic with just a touch of optimism, of the promise that a future can provide if we don't let things go the way they are going.-- \"Inkstuds\" Brief Description : \"Tommi Musturi's Future traps the reader into a web of stories happening in different time spaces, providing perspectives on the possible futures of mankind through imaginary future worlds, current events, historical references, utopias, and ideals. Future is a mash-up of the familiar and the terribly alien: quotidian existence, sci-fi spectacle, utopian fantasy, AI dystopia, and other worst-case scenarios. Richly philosophical and allegorical, Musturi chronicles alcoholic magicians, guerrilla art squads, mutant reality television hosts, and incel archaeologist-astronauts, among many others\"-- Publisher Marketing :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024-08-06\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46489152356483,"sku":"9781683966319","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9781683966319.jpg?v=1770340367","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/9781683966319","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
