Awesome. I've read it 3 times now, too and I'm having the same problem summing it up! You guys did a great thing.

Pretty cool Jai! Congrats. Here's the review for everyone:
Eternal Day #1 (The Naked Experiment, Inc.) -
In my 30 plus years of reading comic books, I don’t think I have ever come across a comic book that has left me completely speechless. Eternal Day turned the trick! Now, consider for a moment how hard it is to actually render me speechless…my “real” job is radio. I make my living talking all day!
I wish that I could describe Eternal Day for you, but I can’t. Here’s why…Eternal Day is a little H.P. Lovecraft mixed with a little Clive Barker, and odds are that each person who reads this debut issue will get something different out of it.
Eternal Day is steeped in bizarre symbolism, but this works in a surprising way. This symbolism pulls the reader in and actually makes you part of the story. Heck, I read this book three times, and came up with a different meaning each time I did! This is a book that is wide open to individual interpretation. J. Gerick and Mark A. Derrick have created a different type of comic book here…one that I want to see more of.
While Gerick’s black and white interior art is superb and quite eerie, after checking out the color cover by Tim Vigil and Jay Fotos, I now want to see this entire story in all of its brightly colored, bizarre glory.
Suggested for teen readers and up due to violence and disturbing images.
Overall grade = A
