New Construction

Kevin Huizenga's New Construction is a quietly ambitious series from the early 2000s, spanning just two issues, that explores the mundane and the metaphysical through the life of its everyman protagonist. Published by alternative-comics stalwart Drawn & Quarterly, the series showcases Huizenga's signature blend of dense, diagrammatic storytelling and philosophical digressions on time, faith, and suburban existence. Though brief, it stands as a key work in the alt-comics canon, demonstrating how the medium can be stretched to capture the vast, strange universe inside an ordinary day.
