THE MYSTERIES (Watterson / Kascht, 2023)

Strange, magical, mystical, beautiful: to reveal too much about it here is to take away the joy of discovery; it deserves the benefit of your unprepared eyes.

Of note: Even though it's the best discussion of collaboration I've seen, I wish (somewhat), in retrospect, that I hadn't watched the (amazing) behind the scenes video beforehand: what can I say, getting to hear Watterson speak was too tempting. That being said, that my that my eyes were not unprepared doesn't change how much I love the fruits of their collaboration.

Truly something special; I can only imagine what discoveries and layers await upon repeated re-reads.
