From the publisher:

Troubled teeanger Miguel Serra has had it with life. The only alternative he sees is to willfully slip into a coma. But one year later, Miguel becomes a walking urban legend after he wakes up virtually unchanged—except for his sloth-like pace.

Soon, a haunted lemon orchard, the mysterious goatman and murder will collide as Miguel, his girlfriend Lita and their best friend Romeo take on the teenage wasteland that is suburbia.

Will Miguel find love? Or has he risen from his slumber just to end up another rock and roll suicide? In this hypnotic, coming-of-age tale, Gilbert Hernandez deftly defines what it means to truly be alive in a land where life is not precious.

Gilbert Hernandez is the creator of the much lauded Love and Rockets: Palomar collection. Together with his brother Jaime, they were named as one of Time Magazine’s Next Wave/innovators/storytellers in 2002.
