I Feel Machine is a timely comics intervention into our ever more technologically interfaced and mediated existence.  This anthology is edited by Julian Hanshaw, who also has contributed one of the six comics pieces created especially for this 152 page, full color, French-flapped softcover volume.  In addition to Hanshaw, the all-star line-up of contributors is:  Shaun Tan, Tillie Walden, Box Brown, Krent Able and Erik Svetoft.  The works range from fable to fantasy to science fiction to horror, including mash-ups of some or all of these.  And yes, these are all new works appearing here for the first time.  The Shaun Tan story, it must be said, is an instant classic.  It's so good that it seems likely to us that it will not be long before it is issued as a stand alone book, to bring it to the wider audience it surely merits.  But you can get it now, along with five other great works, for what will be close to the same price of this hypothetical Tan volume. Nice, right?

 

 

I Feel Love takes a look at the darkside of love, where things don't go as planned, or don't go at all, or fall apart.  It isn't pretty, but what can you do?  It's all part of this crazy thing called life.  Editors Krent Able & Julian Hanshaw have assembled some mighty talents to tackle this terrible task in the 152 page full color pages of this follow up to their previous anthology, I Feel Machine.
