Description: " One of the most inventive and prolific cartoonists working today." Vulture In the past ten years Michael De Forge has released eleven books. While his style and approach have evolved he has never wavered from taut character studies and incisive social commentary with a focus on humor. He has deeply probed subjects like identity gentrification fame and sexual desire. In No Hell an angel's tour of the five tiers of heaven reveals her obsession with a haunting infidelity. In Raising a couple uses an app to see what their unborn child would look like. Of course what begins as a simple face - melding experiment becomes a nightmare of too - much - information where the young couple is forced to confront their terrible choices. Recommended for You is an anxious retelling of our narrator's favorite TV show a Purge - like societal collapse drama as a reflection of our desire for meaning in pop culture. Each of these stories shows the inner turmoil of an ordinary person coming to grips with a world vastly different than their initial perception of it. The humor is searing and the emotional weight lingers long after the story ends. Heaven No Hell collects De Forge's best work yet. His ability to dig into a subject and break it down with beautiful drawings and sharp writing makes him one of the finest short story writers of the past decade in comics or beyond. Heaven No Hell is always funny sometimes sad and continuously innovative in its deconstruction of society.
