Weighing in at 40 black and white 8 1/2" x 11" pages, largely – and smartly – employing a 12-panel grid, Pure Evil is the most substantial work by Matt Seneca that we've come across, and makes for a very meaty read.  Taking a hardboiled look at the nitty gritty, capitalistic flipside of the funny book business, where financial necessity intersects with – or leads to – the sublimation of sexual drives into the creation of pen & ink realities – ultimately in place of the real thing. 

Out of the past comes an old comicstrip looking to hitch a ride with a new lease on life, but what starts out looking like a promising venture goes on a late night drive with a femme fatale that takes a detour to failure... and the sun rises on a world without men where women can lead the way.

 

Faced with the abyssal yawn brought on by a sense of the ultimate meaninglessness of life, leading to a nihilistic self-abandonment to the rip tide of social animal  forces, Butterface – billed on the cover as “a kinky dating app noir” – is indeed full on Noir.

Sex as violence as sex.  So, not a comic book to be ventured into lightly (and definitely "Adults ONLY").  

It has a rough production that feels deliberately matched to the rough content.  While the glossy full color covers appear professionally printed, the black & white* guts look like they were printed guerrilla style, on an old high school offset press after hours. And, regardless of the nature of the material and the quality of presentation, this is a comic book jam packed with old school comic book storytelling
