Everything #5

The penultimate chapter of Christopher Cantwell and I.N.J. Culbard's unsettling Berger Books series arrives with a cover that perfectly captures its eerie tension: a cheerful blue cartoon bear mascot looms front and center, its simple, almost blank expression oddly unnerving against a churning mass of debris — dolls, bicycles, electronics, and reaching human hands — that engulfs everything around it. Culbard's art pulls off a striking contrast between the mascot's bright, toy-like design and the overwhelming, chaotic tide of consumer goods and struggling figures pressing in from all sides. "C'mon, Get Happy" promises the kind of darkly ironic storytelling this series has made its signature.
