Other Lives follows three former college classmates: a self-loathing
journalist whose family secret is the least of his problems; his
girlfriend, whose obsession with getting married borders on Bridezilla
status; a conspiracy theorist who may or may not work for the Homeland
Security but definitely lives with his mother; and a divorced,
unemployed gaming addict who lives in his car. While it's their past
that unites them, it's their fabricated online identities -- some more
dangerous than others -- that lead to their real lives colliding years
later.
Originally published in 2010 by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint, Other Lives
is Bagge's first post-Hate original graphic novel and has been out of
print for several years. Fantagraphics is proud to publish this new
edition, at a time when Bagge's oeuvre is enjoying renewed interest
following the release of The Complete Hate in late 2020.
