Nostalgia

Nostalgia is like an effortless-sounding song in a haunted key, a meticulously crafted meditation on creative passion and loneliness. -- Jake Shears, singer/songwriter, co-founder of Scissor Sisters, author of <I>Boys Keep Swinging</I> While speaking clearly to the present moment, Nostalgia is a potent mix of Blade Runner and John Constantine's early Hellblazer adventures. . . . Grimy, lived-in speculative fiction meets personally insightful observations about music and art, conveying an outrage at modern injustices that saturates the setting, but doesn't get in the way of a deeply personal journey and perspective for its title character. Žeželj's art and Loughridge's colors are exemplary, achieving the same absorbing style as Craig Mancini's in-world performances. * ScreenRant * Writer Scott Hoffman's work in this particular space is fantastic, as so much is conveyed in relatively minimal dialogue between Nostalgia (Craig) and Nathan. It's an also a credit to artist Daniel Zezelj, colorist Lee Loughridge, and letterer Steve Wands, who are able to further immerse you by making each location feel like its own completely distinct world. * Comicbook.com * Hoffman, Žeželj and the team bring a powerful vision of a lost soul trying to find himself through solid writing and fantastic imagery. This is a book you don’t want to pass up checking out. * ODPH Podcast review * The resulting story isn’t just about exploring Mancini/Nostalgia but a bleak world not unlike our own and even the very ideas of memory and interpersonal connection that accompany these bleak techno-noirs. Like many of Hoffman’s own tunes, it’s a vibrant, deeply personal exploration of the human condition. * AIPT Comics * In our current culture and some people’s obsession with a past that’s somehow pristine, unimpeachable and better than today, it’s a great time to read and delve into Nostalgia. *  Gay League *
