Existential Comics Carla Meninsky As the group’s combined demos

As the group’s combined demos became increasingly layered

A depiction of life observed by way of characters that don't feel created but rather feel as if they palpably breathe and cry

But when someone uses dark magic to sabotage the campaign of the prospective first Black mayor of Detroit

you have given such a striking illustration of reincarnation

By Ezra Clayton Daniels + Ben Passmore
