My first foray into Torrey Peters, and a great first impression at that. Very immersive transgressive collection of shorts, with the titular one being the absolute highlight. There are a total of 4 shorts of varying lengths, from 40pg, 50pg, up to the titular best at roughly 150pg. If anything, I recommend you at least read the Stag Dance short (a novella essentially) towards the middle of this overall brisk read. It's a really interesting crises of identity mixed with a bit of camp thriller and eco-horror. The Chaser is a also very good, I didn't care too much for the opening and closing shorts. I will def be keeping my eyes out for more from Torrey Peters.

The Purge mixed with Ready or Not 2. It could improve in the next volume, but I felt like they built up the zany killers with more hype than they could deliver. I was expecting to spend more time with them and their unique manners of playing their respective games. But again, it could be fixed in the future since this initial volume sets up the playing field world of the comic. I was expecting a little more from Pornsak Pichetshote’s section though.

Plays out more like a tedious soap opera more than a comedic whodunit thriller. Knives Out meets Groundhog Day, it is not. It felt like there was more cousin loving going on than actual mystery stakes and unexpected plot revelations. Not as fun as word of mouth.
