#Ben Passmore

[daygloayhole]

Home for the holidays. made for the New Yorker this year.

[thenib]

In our WORK issue, we asked The Nib’s Inkwell members to tell us how they got even for long hours, low pay, no benefits, and a general lack of respect for working stiffs.

In short: What’d you steal? Drawn by Ben Passmore.

BTTM FORS. While I wasn't immediately sold on the idea of gentrification horror, Ezra Clayton Daniels and Ben Passmore made two of my favorite comics of the past couple years with Upgrade Soul and Your Black Friend, respectively, and so I found myself excited to see how this would shape up. I think ultimately BTTM FORS falls short of the high standards of both their previous works, but still succeeds at highlighting some strengths of both contributors, while pushing their work in new directions. Clayton Daniels continues to make stand out body horror anchored to weird science concepts, while leaning further into racial and class politics. Ben Passmore's voice seems more prominent in early parts of the book, particularly the more charged discussions the characters get into, which are in the vein of his previous work. But I found myself hugely impressed with the nasty nasty creature and body horror he pulled off in this, which carries a lot of the stories ultimate satisfaction. While the characters in this were often more mouthpieces for a perspective than people, leading to a couple stilted conversations and dragging story beats, BTTM FORS was still a worthy read, with a lot to say and some interesting ways of going about it.

4/5

A szerelem fáj

Országos bemutató: 2025. február 6.

                        Bárhogy is igyekszel, a múltaddal nem szakíthatsz.

            2025-ben Valentin napon az Oscar-díjas Ke Huy Quan (Minden, mindenhol, mindenkor, Loki) belecsap az első főszerepébe egy valószerűtlen hős alakjában: ő a látszólag simulékony ingatlanos, aki sötét titkot rejteget, amit kétségbeesetten próbál maga mögött hagyni. Vigyázat, spoiler: nem sikerül.

            Quan alakítja Marvin Gable-t, az ingatlanost, aki Milwaukee kertvárosi részén próbál boldogulni, ahol több „Eladó” tábla van a kertekben, mint fa. Gable kap egy vörös borítékot Rose-tól (az Oscar-díjas Ariana DeBose; West Side Story, Argylle: A szuperkém), egykori bűntársától, akit a sorsára hagyott, meghalni. És aki nem örül.

            Így hát Marvin most visszacsöppen a könyörtelen bérgyilkosok átverésekkel teli világába, és az ingatlanbemutatók háborús övezetekké válnak. Saját fivére, Knuckles (Daniel Wu; Tomb Raider, Warcraft), a lobbanékony alvilági góré veszi üldözőbe Marvint, akinek szembe kell néznie a döntéseivel, melyek most kísértik, és a múltjával, amit sosem temetett el…

            A 87North produkciós cég olyan úttörő akciófilmeket tud maga mögött, mint a Senki, a Vérapó, A kaszkadőr, A gyilkos járat és az Atomszőke - és ezzel a zsigeri, magas fordulatszámon pörgő bosszúsztorival sem fog csalódást okozni.

            A film producerei Kelly McCormick és David Leitch, írója Matthew Murray (Sheltered, CloudStreet: Soaring the American West), Josh Stoddard (Harcos, Kaleidoszkóp) és Luke Passmore (Archenemy, Mészárszék rulez).
