Don't Spit in the Wind #1

One man’s trash is another man’s living. Since earth became inhospitable, humanity escaped ages ago to live in a space station floating above the atmosphere. Now Travis and his crew of garbage men are tasked with cleaning up mountains of toxic waste, working for a company called Atomic Bros INC., to create a ‘Clear World’. But when one of Travis’ crew members goes missing near an old nuclear facility Travis’ job becomes a bit more complicated. Don’t Spit in the Wind #1 is an intriguing start that feels part parody and part horror.

Written by Stefano Cardoselli, Don’t Spit in the Wind #1 feels like an interesting mix of genres. There’s the obvious sci-fi aspect to it but there’s also a hint at parody and even horror. The comic has a style that’s intriguing overall and an ending that’ll suck you in and say wtf as you want to find out more.

The world is destroyed with the unenviable and likely impossible task of trying to clean it up left to a few. There’s a bit of Wall-E in there except instead of sadness we’re left with workers who feel like they’d fit more in Office Space. They’re a bit grumpy and overall negative about their job, there for the paycheck. All of that is mixed in with what transpires as a crew goes missing and we get to explore more of the world. It’s all a slow build as we discover more and more about this world.

Cardoselli does double duty also handling the art with Dan Lee. All together, it’s an excellent combo, especially at the ending. The art has amazing detail reminding me of Simon Bisely’s work on Lobo in the 90s and would feel right at home with Heavy Metal, an exaggerated world where every inch is put to use. Then you get to the end and this junk world gets more claustrophobic as greater danger is revealed. It’s a fantastic build in the art where no detail is spared.

Don’t Spit in the Wind #1 is an intriguing start to the series that’s a visual treat and concept that should pay off well. Despite it’s sci-fi setting there’s a lot to relate to and a lot to chew on, leaving us excited to see what’s next.
