Jetty #4



I just read Jetty #4.  It was my first encounter with Rio Aubry Taylor's work.  It's quarter-size in black & white with glossy paper, bound by staples.

I like the robots, the metaphor, the storytelling, the emotions.  I like the format, the drawings, the length, the depth.  It's long enough to engage but not too big a commitment.

I felt myself relating to the main character, and I liked that.  Oh, and psychic carrier pigeons are the best.  There's some humor.

This is not the kind of thing I usually read.  I stick to perzines and poetry and memoir a lot.  The sci-fi aspect is not part of my normal diet, but I liked the taste.  I found Jetty #4 satisfying.  Thank you!
