Skin & 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:
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.
