Max – The Extended Dream of Mr. D

The Extended Dream of Mr. D

The story here is that the main character went to bed, like any other night, and woke up, like any other morning, except for the fact that forty nights had passed. When he woke up he filled three notebooks with what he was dreaming about, and the comic is that dream. I’m guessing that it’s not a true story (a few things just fit too neatly), but it doesn’t need to be. The ending bugged me a little but I thought the bulk of the story was incredible. Max did a great job of making everything feel like a dream, which was absolutely essential to the feel of the thing. The main character, Christopher, runs into a few characters along the way, all of them either offering him things, taking them from him or both. This is probably time #154 that I’ve said this in these reviews, but I really don’t want to give anything away because it’s a great journey. I will tell you (it mentions this on this first page, so how much is that giving away?) that Christopher was deeply dissatisfied with his life and had to either keep dreaming or go mad. Intrigued? Well fine, go ahead and spend your Christmas money somewhere else. I thought it was great… OK, he doesn’t have a website but you can learn more about what else he’s done (and there’s a lot of it) here.
