🌊 The colonial wound, explored through the most visually alien comics language of 2018 — Prism Stalker #4, Sloane Leong’s extraordinary and singular science fiction series from Image Comics, a work of avant-garde visual storytelling that placed post-colonial themes inside one of the most genuinely alien-feeling comics art styles of its era. Prism Stalker follows Vep, a young woman from a colonized world who is recruited to train as a soldier for the empire that colonized her people, the story unfolding across biologically strange alien environments rendered in Leong’s psychedelic, texture-heavy visual language. The series is unlike almost anything else in mainstream comics — the colors, shapes, and biological designs creating a genuinely alien world that refuses to conform to conventional sci-fi design aesthetics. For Leong, the visual language IS the argument: the strangeness of the environments mirrors the psychological dislocation of living under colonial oppression, the world made strange by the experience of being made a stranger in your own home. Prism Stalker is one of the most critically praised under-read Image Comics series of its year, a work that rewards every visual and narrative commitment the reader brings to it. 🌊 Prism Stalker #4 is one of the most genuinely alien comics experiences of the 21st century, in its fourth chapter.

This is Prism Stalker #4 — Sloane Leong’s avant-garde sci-fi series (Image Comics, June 2018).
