Haunted pasts and tangled futures in a town trying to survive after world-ending war // A Southern Gothic slowburn comic at https://linktr.ee/ASAScomic

A bunch of handsome boys, and an image of the artist, who coincidentally ALSO happens to be handsome, could you imagine such a thing

Two men are depicted upside down, pressed cheek to cheek. One of them is a ghost. One of them is just an Echo of a man. The one who got left alive is staring into the middle distance with eyes the color of missed bullets. No one is happy here.

Aras looks hot. No, not just figuratively hot in an attraction sense, but also like, HOT hot, because Southern summers are humid and gross. Sorry Aras

The bathroom tile is rainbow stripes with the mirror hung in the middle space of a large white "Q;" the mirror is steamy and hazy suggesting a shower has happened. Through the mirror's reflection (as if we are looking at ourselves), we can see Aras stands in a towel in blue/purple/pink, another on his shoulder. Does he know they're bi colors? It's unsure. He looks less confident and more awkward in this vulnerable space. There is shaving cream on his face and he has cut himself shaving. He looks in dismay at the small foreshadowing of blood coming from this vulnerable place. It's all a metaphor. Happy Can't Tell Anyone You're Bi Day.

One hunk of meat (Aras) is using the Salt Bae technique to season another hunk of meat (a steak) shaped like the number 2 while Jo looks on appreciatively (sorry, Aras) at the meat on the grill. Jo's shitty house is visible behind them.
