From the Creators:

“Mariko, Between Worlds is an unhinged joyride through Liana and I’s most bizarre sci-fi daydream. I’m so proud of this book and getting to collaborate with the people I cherish and love in this industry and getting to write comics for Mad Cave is the cherry on top. If you’ve ever watched 90 Day Fiancee and felt it needed more angst and space aliens and portals to capitalist nightmare dimensions... then I guess this is literally the comic for you." - Writer, Matthew Erman

“Before we started working on Mariko Between the Worlds, Matthew Erman and Lisa Sterle (who designed some of the incredibly wild and fun characters in the book and co-wrote as well!) were already some of my favorite people on earth -- and so from the first moment I heard the premise, I knew that this was going to be something special. I think that we (including being joined by our incredible colorist who made this book as psychedelic as it is, Rebbeca Nalty, and our extremely talented letterer, Michah Meyers) all brought our very best to this project because of how much fun we had with it.

I hope this story resonates with anyone that is searching for that missing part of them or feels like they just want to find themselves.” -Illustrator, Liana Kangas

Score: ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) There are certain comic book creators whose books I'll pick up without hesitation. One of those creators is Jeff Lemire. He instills confidence knowing that his stories will be thoughtful and engaging. You add a talented artist like Dustin Nguyen on another collaborative effort and well, 'Little Monsters,' is a must-buy. I know, shocking.
