Three flavours of ice cream. Three different stories. All unfolding simultaneously, mostly wordlessly, with vastly different outcomes for the comic’s temporary protagonist. Just another day in suburbia for the Ice Cream Man.

Despite the creativity and sometimes experimental nature of Ice Cream Man up to this point, it really feels like this issue is the one that truly knocks it out of the park. Each story is told with a different tone depending on the ice cream flavour it represents, and though each one plays out very differently, it doesn’t exactly work out for our poor, doomed character in any of them.

Along the way, there are plenty of small details and character appearances to find, and if you pay attention you’ll see some familiar faces.

This issue truly pushes the series to lofty artistic heights, with its experimental format, amazing use of colour and its triple dipped tales of woe. Excellent stuff, but remind me to never ask for the neapolitan flavour again.
