Journey Into Misery’s clever and funny cartoons show how effective and entertaining a well-conceived comic can be even with minimal resources available for the execution. By emphasizing intelligent page continuity over splashy illustration, creators Joshua Cottingham and Stephanie Lantry write circles around slews of comics with higher publishing values and better name recognition.

In the first issue, a slacker teen confronts blaster-wielding lizard men, a sly lobster cooks the cook, and space aliens waste some dastardly pirates. With two more issues in the can, one hopes Cottingham and Landry find the financial support they need to keep going and develop their craft.
