Story and Art: Luana Vecchio
English Adaption: Edward Caio
Lovesick is a disturbing tale of the dark web, incel culture, and violent eroticism. Luana Vecchio’s art is the ideal complement to the twisted story of Domino, the sad dominatrix and demon mother of the Lovesick Club. Vecchio’s characters are both sexy and soulless, her palette a flush of soft blues and savage red. Domino herself already feels like an Image icon, as instantly recognizable as Invincible or Spawn. Her layouts are as fluid as her work on the magnificent Bolero, each page a work of art. Musical accompaniment snakes across the opening pages, playing Domino’s sinister theme as she dances half-naked, covered in the blood of a more than willing victim. The men of the Lovesick Club are desperate for Domino’s attention, however, piercing and final it may be. Several pages minimize the art to make room for the Lovesick Chat Room, a community that is equal parts Domino worshippers and furious incels demanding her head.
