The Best Time For Living Weapons: Ricky Lima Talks ‘Undergrowth’

by Brendan M. Allen

Ricky Lima popped by the virtual panel room to talk Undergrowth, his upcoming graphic novel from Top Shelf. It centers on a group of recently deceased young adults who end up piloting giant wooden forest spirits. Think a handcarved Gundam. Lima frames it as a metaphor for trauma and we discuss the implications of becoming a living weapon of mass destruction on the absolute worst day of your life.

Is there really a good time to become a living weapon of mass destruction?
