Imagine a world. Now, imagine being able to go there. When you get there, nearly everything is the same as here on Earth, except for you, your best friend from long ago and the fact that God is called Farb and He is Barack Obama. That is only a small part of the adventure we share as Blue discovers who he is and why everything he ever thought about his place in the universe is going to be blown out of the water, and quite literally so in Issue 3, Across the Universe. If all of this seems like too much to handle, then you are no different than Blue.

Writer/Artist Barry McMahon creates a universe where Blue is the “everyman”, working to perfect his craft when suddenly his whole world is shattered, quite literally by a space cruiser, catapulting him into a period of self-discovery where entire worlds are held in the balance.

When Blue finally meets Farb, he turns out to be Barack Obama, the President of the United States AND God to an entire planet.

If you are thinking that this is the most entertaining and surprising fact about the book, you are mistaken. Barry weaves a story that spans universes, forever changing the dialogue as to what possibilities lie beyond what we know.
