Here&#8217;s an excerpt:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>From the first three issues of <em>RhiZome<\/em>, what stories have stood out to you? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My favorite story is \u201cCorporation Pop\u201d by Rob Jackson. The first two installments were in <em>RhiZome<\/em> #1 and #2. I like how Rob depicts a mundane office life that is spiraling out of control into a paranoid fantasy where nothing seems real. Tyler Stafford\u2019s comic in <em>RhiZome<\/em> #2 is also amazing, like all of his work. He puts in a lot of little details in his drawings that make his SF worlds grounded. I also dig his character designs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m the token American in the third issue of the British SF anthology series RhiZome, edited by Rob Jackson and Kyle Baddeley-Read.
