The premiere issue of Viscere has arrived, and its theme is: Body Horror! Edited by Katie Skelly, who has penned an introduction in the course of which it is revealed that this anthology was born out of the isolation and fear brought on by the Pandemic, and the idea animating the works assembled here is that of confrontation with one's own – and others' – inescapable physicality.  In the 120, magazine-size (8 1/2" x 11") pages of this first issue of Viscere , the group of talented women cartoonists who have herein banded together to provide readers with eight short comics works – in black & white, duo-tone and full color – and one essay (appropriately, on the Y2K comics of Junko Mizuno). 

This a wide-ranging anthology, as stories and approaches span the spectrum from subtley psychological to over the top psychotic, each one presenting its own take on body horror, with no-holds-barred.  And there is plenty of variety in art styles as well, as they range from anime-inflected cartoony to detailed old school illustration, each artist embodying a style that is distinctly their own.
