by Fábio Moon and Gabriel BáIt's odd, when a book ends each month with its main character being killed, to say that this is a particularly brutal issue of Daytripper, but that's the best word to describe it.
Brás, now 38 and a published author who has received great acclaim, gets a postcard hinting at the location of his friend Jorge, who has been missing for years. Without hesitating, Brás goes looking for his friend, who has been living in a remote region of Brazil. Jorge's money has long since run out, and he has left the run-down town where he squatted for months to live in a hut in the desert.
Jorge's lost his mind, but his friendship still means a great deal to Brás, who has missed him terribly. When they do finally meet, they have an ugly confrontation, although throughout it, Brás is only remembering the good times they had shared.
This series has been really fantastic, although this specific issue is not one of my favourites. Bá and Moon have been using this book to explore family, friendship, and love, and while this issue does just that, it felt a little quicker and less lyrical than the other installments.
