Plot
This Afrofuturist graphic novel explores gentrification and cultural appropriation with a clever blend of horror and humor.
Once a thriving working-class neighborhood on Chicago’s south side, the “Bottomyards” is now the definition of urban blight. When an aspiring fashion designer and her image-obsessed BFF descend upon the hood in search of cheap rent, they discover something far more seductive... and deadly.
Gentrification and body horror collide in this brutal satire from the award-winning creators of Upgrade Soul and Your Black Friend.

Comentario social y tentáculos pseudovegetales. Una mezcla poco frecuente y que, sin embargo, sienta tan bien al género, especialmente cuando la trama transcurre en un espacio reducido, facilitando que el trasfondo político no opaque la tensión narrativa. Así, BTTM FDRS se emparenta con Cronenberg, pero también con La Cosa de Carpenter o, ya en cómic, con el Infiel de Pichetshote y Campbell. Con su novela gráfica, Daniels y Passmore reivindican su espacio dentro del terror imbricado en la realidad social, con ecos del clasismo, el racismo y el privilegio blanco tan de actualidad en estos últimos años.
