Arpad Okay, The Beat:

“SFF allows Fhilippe to explore matters of the self while freed from the limitations of personal experience. And so the fantastic circumstances in Leftstar enable engaging with conflict the real world has no solutions for at present. It’s a violation of the classic expectation for indie comics to be about the (tortured) personal life of the cartoonist. Not the dime novel potboilers of spinner rack genre fiction! Yet in Leftstar genre fiction becomes an opportunity to explore personal potential. To consider what one might do rather than solely reflect on what one has done.

Leftstar achieves an effortless narrative by exerting a great deal of effort. It’s a thoroughly planned story, a comic made for a reason. And it respects its readers enough to let them answer the questions it poses. You separate the good from the bad. You decide who’s at fault, and how much, human, monster, metaphor.”
