Local Man gets creative in his search for a murderer, as Inga prepares to bring the superhuman trade to Farmington. On the flip side… while Crossjack attends celebrity weddings and goes on dates with models, Inga is going to save Farmington, one person at a time. But how? Local Man #7 is another fantastic issue of the new arc packed with laughs.

Local Man #7 continues the series split story with some having to do with the present and some in the past, that has to do with what’s going on in the present. Tony Fleecs and Tim Seeley handle the story and in the present go with the laughs as Local Man does what he can to try to solve the murder of a local girl. That includes visiting a weird cult that may or may not have had something to do with it. But, really, it’s where that meeting goes that’s the highlight.

Fleecs and Seeley deliver laughs with Local Man #7 as Jack is fed some magic mushrooms creating a comic that’s packed with jokes and some fantastic visual humor. The visuals really stands out as the art plays with the fact that Jack is tripping and he does things like interact with the speech bubbles. The result is amazing and creates an issue that stands out in a series that’s already filled with moments that stand out.

On the flip side, the other story focused on Inga continues to build as we get get an idea of how she got to where she is. Like the previous arc, this “back-up” story does a great job of fleshing out the world and delivering information in entertaining ways.

Fleecs and Seeley handle the art as well with Fleecs providing the art for Local Man’s current adventure and Seeley handling the flashback. They’re joined by Brad Simpson and Felipe Sobriero and each art style really enhances the main story overall. As stated above, Local Man’s tripping is just amazing visually and doesn’t go completely for the usual tropes, instead focused on playing with the literal words on the page.

Local Man #7 is another fantastic issue of the series that takes a rather weighty subject, death of a teenage girl, and approaches it in a way where the issue itself doesn’t feel heavy. It’s a murder mystery of a different sort.
