Reviews"Scott Koblish is a cartoonist who, for some reason, likes to draw himself dying, over and over again. He falls off crumbling cliffs, gets abducted by aliens (and then shot down by the army), has skiing accidents, and is attacked by evil poodles. Oh, and there's a darn cat that just keeps jumping up and knocking him over railings in various locations. . . . they're pretty hilarious. If you liked that montage in Groundhog Day where Bill Murray tries to off himself to escape the time loop, this has a similar feel but with many, many more scenes." -GeekDad, "Death by steamroller. Death by healthy cereal. Death by falling manatee. Cartoonist Scott Koblish has compiled the cheeriest memento mori you're likely to come across - a series of wordless, mostly one-page comic strips in which Koblish's bespectacled cartoon avatar dies. And dies. And dies and dies and dies . . . It should be depressing, this parade of merciless mortality, but Koblish's style is so charming, his command of body language and facial expression so sure, and his imagination so twisted (watch out for that orange tabby, Scott!) that this funny, breezy collection ends up being one of the year's most bizarrely life-affirming reads." - Glen Weldon, NPR's Book Concierge, Best Books of 2018, "Scott Koblish is a cartoonist who, for some reason, likes to draw himself dying, over and over again.

SynopsisMarvel Comics artist Scott Koblish ( Deadpool , Spider-Man ) has been illustrating his own demise for many years in morbidly funny, 4-panel black-and-white comics. He's the one person struck by a comet, suddenly overrun by a pack of baboons, resting under the precarious rock tipped by a single bird, or the target of his daughter's (of course homicidal) teddy bear come to life. Though it's always Scott on the receiving end, the comics perfectly capture that irrational feeling we all have that everything can go very wrong in one irrevocable instant. Slapstick, surreal, and eerily plausible, with extended scenarios and pops of color throughout, this collection of cosmic reckonings shows that, if the end is nigh, at least you'll die laughing., This fatalistically funny collection follows in the vein of All My Friends Are Dead and Zombies Hate Stuff in the relatable form of Scott Koblish of Marvel Comic's many, varied, and ridiculous deaths, imagined for his own amusement and ours.
