"From musician, singer-songwriter, and internet superstar JONATHAN COULTON comes the graphic novel accompaniment (in square-bound, 10 x 10 format) to his new concept album, SOLID STATE. Two guys, connected by a name and hundreds of years, somehow stand at the end of man's beginning, and the beginning of man's end. But...it's funny? Also kind of a nightmare. But mostly funny? A funny science FACTion nightmare about the end of everything, but how that's all kind of okay. Teaming up with MATT FRACTION, the writer of SEX CRIMINALS, CASANOVA, and ODY-C,and the award-winning Spanish artist of Universe! ALBERT MONTEYS, COULTON's SOLID STATE is a tech mashup where 2001: A Space Odyssey meets Office Space and getting all we ever wanted might just be a terrible idea.. Author: Jonathan Coulton, Matt Fraction. Illustrator: Albert Monteys . 2017 Jonathan Coulton."

Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: September 1, 2017 Based on a concept and album of the same name by singer/songwriter Coulton, and written by Fraction (ODY-C), this first volume in a new series intertwines the tales of two men separated by hundreds of years: Bob, a worker tasked with charting the course of the moon across the sky in a futuristic world, and the more contemporary Robert, an employee at a popular search engine and social media company disillusioned with his employer's unethical approach to customer privacy. One of them may or may not be dreaming the other, or something. What's certain is that when an accident results in Bob questioning his place in society, and those questions instill a sense of rebellion in Bob's robot friend Robogrande, everyone involved is forced to reckon with the consequences. Artist Monteys (El Jueves magazine) provides innovative page design, expert pacing, and cartooning that makes a cohesive whole of a story that switches between lighthearted satire and heady philosophical exploration as well as centuries--and maybe even planes of existence. VERDICT An intriguing, engaging start to a series that excels at raising interesting questions and remains satisfying even as it falters a little when it comes to providing answers.--TB Copyright 2017 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
