Collects BOLERO #1-5
It's Christmas in snowy Los Angeles, and Devyn "Dagger" Dagny is heartbroken. Her twelve-year relationship with her ex Natasha has just come to a tragic end. She's an aimless college dropout floundering at her job, and now her best friend is getting married to the wrong guy. But what if she could start all over again? A mysterious stranger. Something called an "anti-door" and a "mother-key." Only 53 chances. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind meets Locke and Key as writer Wyatt Kennedy and artist Luana Vecchio take you on an emotional journey across the multiverse.
"Every so often, a book crosses your path that serves
as both a burning reminder of what only comics can do and as a warning shot to
the rest of the industry, putting all of us on notice. What Kennedy and Vecchio
have created is a thrumming, heartfelt, bravado story that defies genre even as
it defies expectation. It is, genuinely,
glorious.
It is an over-used phrase in an era
of quick-copy and blurbs, but, in all sincerity, BOLERO is a must-read." -- Greg
