Short Review: Weeeiiird.
This comic is, as a friend of mine pointed out, Really Fuckin' Strange. The hero, Scud, is an robot ex-assassin with a human arm of a monster, and is stuck inside his friend, Drywall, who can best be described as a large canvas bag in the shape of a man, covered with zips. Drywall in fact encompasses a giant catalogue of objects, which it can pull out at a minutes notice. From the inside, he looks like a collection of labelled vats, from which hands occasionally pluck things to be used outside. When we start the issue, the outside of Drywall is immediately occupied by the bizarre Jeff, a creature that remakes itself out of whatever is around. It's also Scud's original target, and now it's mad as hell. The trouble is, Scud is of the heart breaker series, that must self-destruct upon termination of target. Well, that's all you need to know. Now get the issue. It's one of the funkiest fight scenes I've seen in a while. Surrealism rules.
