Get the squid! The cover for Guttertown Massive seduces you in right away. A brutal beauty with bloody, bandaged fists is surrounded by a techno squid. Welcome to the twisted future created by K.C. Silver (aka Casey Silvia) and artist Dimi Mac.
Imagine the refugees of Mad Max, The Matrix and Johnny Nmenonic all fighting for fame and survival in a crowded industrial underworld. Davron and Reno are competitors in a war of beats. Seeds are planted for a bitter rivalry in a massive futuristic party scene in a dark, crowded world that the youth yearn to escape.
After the creepy colored cover turn inside for the black and white world of the gutter. Dimi Mac packs the panels bursting with dark, stark energy. I think the crowded art reflects the overcrowded world these ravers are fighting to find their way out of. Find you way to Guttertown Massive and experience Beat fighting yourself. Expand your horizons and take a dose of this.

Disclaimer: I was not paid to write this. The writer works at my neighborhood comic shop and asks if I would give his project a read and because Casey is so damn cool (and given me so many gret recommendations for books) I did.
