And you thought you had it bad during the pandemic.  Here in the pages of Miguel Vila's latest, we revisit those days of lockdown and more.... when Vila takes the ball and runs with it into a dark endzone where things just keep getting worse in this 200 page, full color, Swiftian satire of contemporary humanity fully fleshed out with Dantean gradations of character and set in the Po Valley region of northern Italy, in which Vila zooms in to focus his unflinching eye on the frail human foibles and failures of an interconnected cast of (largely 20-something) characters and then zooms out to show the consequences of these same failures writ large.  Vila's expertly cartooned and precisely paced comics combine to create a rich portrait of contemporary society, but it is one that renders a harsh verdict that indicts us all.
