In issue 3 of Skin&Earth, Enaia Jin finds herself in a darkened state following a devastating romantic fallout. Still nursing her wounds while harboring a deep loneliness, she encounters a new and mysterious friend. The strange acquaintance seems to come into her life at just the right time. Does En finally have someone to share her borscht with? Will her desperation for companionship lead her down a dangerous path?

WrensReads Review:

Alright LIGHTS, showing a whole new side of you. Girls with white hair that walk through your dreams, sometimes things can get a little frisky. Really, this issue just kind of confused me, but I think it is starting to kind of put a kick in for the next issue.

I will put in a little warning that there is a little nudity in this issue. So if that bothers you, maybe don’t invest your time in these. Personally, I believe it was tasteful and artistic, but I know not everyone is comfortable with that kind of thing.

Can’t wait for Issue #04!

kin&Earth is a story of a girl looking for hope in a hopeless world. Caught between romance and cults, gods and mortals, and just trying to find a good borscht, Enaia Jin is lead down a dark path by new lovers that reveal a twisted fantasy world and her own true nature. Set in a post-apocalyptic future where corporations rule, this adventurous tale of loneliness, deceit and self-discovery begins here! Written and drawn by alt-pop phenomenon Lights, Skin & Earth ties directly into her next full length album, released in Fall 2017 on Warner Bros Records.

WrensReads Review:

I went to LIGHTS concert last night. And my LAURD, this girl is even better live than on her albums. I’m serious. She has such power and passion and stage presence that I couldn’t take my eyes off her.

And I learned that she actually drew all the illustrations in these comics? Like what can’t this woman do? She is an advocate for those who need it, she draws phenomenally, her story telling is great and her music is astronomical.

This whole issue is about how nasty a break up can be. I will say that the lyrics that she snuck in there were a great idea, but didn’t really flow as easily as she probably wanted it to. But I felt for the main character. Now that she’s broken, it’s time to see the whole world in this comic and what BA thing she is going to do next.

WrensReads Review:

This is such a unique experience because this Canadian singer, LIGHTS, is writing a comic to go along with her new album. It tells a story and the music coincides with the pictures and words drawn out.

I usually don’t do things by issues, but I am going to her concert 10/06/17 with my sister and wanted to make sure I was up to date on her new album and the comic goes along with it.

So, the story kind of reminds me of Want by Cindy Pon. The air is all polluted and if you were rich you can get away from it, if you were poor you die young due to the chemicals and poisons in the air. LIGHTS, or at least the character that looks like her, is falling for a guy who doesn’t seem to be into her too much. She tries to find the beauty in the trashed-world around her.

I loved this just for the purity of it.
