One of the most inventive and prolific cartoonists working today. Vulture. THE FIRST STORY COLLECTION D+Q PUBLISHES BY ONE OF THE BEST SHORT STORY WRITERS IN COMICS: DeForge is one of the most gifted short story writers in or outside of comics. After a series of standalone graphic novels, this is the first time D+Q is publishing a short story collection of his.
In the past ten years, Michael DeForge has released eleven books. While his style and approach have evolved, he has never wavered from taut character studies and incisive social commentary with a focus on humour. He has deeply probed subjects like identity, gentrification, fame, and sexual desire. In No Hell, an angel s tour of the five tiers of heaven reveals her obsession with a haunting infidelity. In Raising, a couple uses an app to see what their unborn child would look like. Of course, what begins as a simple face-melding experiment becomes a nightmare of too-much-information where the young couple is forced to confront their terrible choices. Recommended for You is an anxious retelling of our narrator s favourite TV show a Purge-like societal collapse drama as a reflection of our desire for meaning in pop culture. Each of these stories shows the inner turmoil of an ordinary person coming to grips with a world vastly different than their initial perception of it. The humour is searing and the emotional weight lingers long after the story ends. Heaven No Hell collects DeForge s best work yet. His ability to dig into a subject and break it down with beautiful drawings and sharp writing makes him one of the finest short story writers of the past decade, in comics or beyond. Heaven No Hell is always funny, sometimes sad, and continuously innovative in its deconstruction of society.
