These two comics are by the same creative team.

First Moon - Read this first and started off being annoyed by the dialogue, then was confused by the modern story, but the historical fiction story was decent. Also the artist needs to learn that whitespace is since his drawings have five billion black lines going everywhere right next to each other, way too busy. I think my favorite part was the short essay at the end covering the history.

Continuity - Much better read and art. I think he was trying to make a point about the meaning of live through dreams, but I totally missed it. It was weird that this women had bad things happen and decides never to sleep/dream instead of realizing that dreams are random with the potential for both good and bad things happen in them. She dreams a police state because she's upset and fixates on that instead of thinking calm down and dream something happy. I guess characters are more interesting if they have flaws and make mistakes so they have something to redeem themselves against. Well there is the whole heros quest where bad things happen and the hero has to persevere, but flaws seem to be the current direction of pop culture.
