Review of 'Nemo' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Deeply memorable for the sequence during which eldritch magic unravels the minds of the protagonists, rendering the heart of their journey into the unknown as a series of discontinuous snapshots. Hinting at the events they battled through, but unable to face them directly, we see the fractured impressions and memories of those who survived to tell the tale. As recurringly the case with Moore, an attempt to explore the boundaries what comics as a medium are capable of.

Reminds me of the discontinuous jump cuts used to great effect (albeit with much reduced scope) in the videogame "Thirty flights of loving".
