Omschrijving
A graphic, genre-mashing magnum opus
from one of the most restlessly creative
voices in comics.
Tommi Musturi’s Future traps the reader into a web
of stories happening in different time spaces, providing
perspectives on the possible futures of mankind
through imaginary future worlds, current events, historical
references, utopias, and ideals. Future is a mash-up
of the familiar and the terribly alien: quotidian existence,
sci-fi spectacle, utopian fantasy, AI dystopia, and other
worst-case scenarios. Richly philosophical and allegorical,
Musturi chronicles alcoholic magicians, guerrilla
art squads, mutant reality television hosts, and incel
archaeologist-astronauts, among many others.
Weaving between a variety of styles in illustration
and narration that transform and reflect our constantly
changing reality, Future is an impassioned graphic novel
for our times that renews the medium of comics — a vital
and multifaceted work of art. Known as a stylistic chameleon
who often deals with existential themes that twirl around the
ideal of “freedom,” Musturi has crafted his masterpiece, an
attention-grabbing, bravura showcase of a rich visual imagination
with a deeply moral center.
