mister fantastic

Penned by Seattle’s Jason Baxter [of USF] & Mac Hamilton with artwork produced by New York’s Derek Charm, Trip Fantastic shares the epic tale of the fall, rise, and eventual downward spiral of a young celebrity daredevil. Though the series is only an issue deep, as the adventure began one month ago, we’ve already found introduction to a totally radical variety of characters [like the low-profile scientist on the run from Interpol], situations [I need a makeshift hang-glider in real life], and both the graphic layout and art design are developing a new precedent towards my understanding of narrative in a linear online reading experience. I’d hate to spoil any of the initial surprises for anyone, but I’ve personally never read an animated graphic series that visually represents what is meant to be felt and really hope that Jason will integrate his own homemade sounds in the future.
