***
In this mysterious four part comic, Michael Olivo weaves in a tried and true gritty crime story – a team of detectives investigating a murder – with Jack Kirby’s over-the-top melodramatic prose, Catholic bullshittery, and all-out psychedelic brain spasms. Three detectives are summoned from inside the earth to investigate a murder, only to find that their own precinct has become a sentient entity, waging a war on nature itself. Or something like that. Either way, they get sent to the moon. A truly strange and captivating book.
