Galvan''s characters navigate a candy-colored world of geometric energy. Departments of inhumane resources dehumanise the people it is purported to protect; information is determinedly mined like the gold of the 21st century that it is; induced suicidal thoughts are a tool to manage overpopulation. Like Black Mirror, Galvan''s near future is less paranoid dystopia than it is a logical extension of things to come, where the malice of large corporations manifests in small, everyday ways.

In Eve Gilbert''s Winter Warrior, each panel is an exquisitely imagined interpretation of Camil''s story, capturing the brutal reality of the war and the bleak political reality on the domestic front.
