I like the idea of multi-verses this graphic novel explores. Some universes are similar to our own, some are radically different,  and many contain bugs that eat humans. The main enemy bug force reminds me of the bugs in the Starship Troopers movies, but I like fighting insects any-where. A nice break from robots or zombies.

Quite a few times I had no idea what was going on story-wise, but it’s fun to read, and eventually everything is explained. The idea of everything living having an evolving consciousness, including each universe, is a theme popping up in every book I read lately. Reading it a second time should be even better than the first.

Here is where I usually include an Amazon link to buy the book, since it also includes a nice cover shot, but Amazon doesn’t list Milk closet. Crazy. I thought they sold everything.

I’ll put this Wikipedia link in, but the page is pretty brief. The entry for Hitoshi Tomizawa is even worse. The page doesn’t even show when his other books were created so I can try to find the newest one. How obscure is Milk closet?
