One of the $trange$t comics ever published by Wildstorm Studios, Automatic Kafka ran a mere 9 issues but is nevertheless a series worth revisiting in 2025.
Paired with the tension between different grapes blended together, and adultified versions of childish wines.
Kick DC/Wildstorm to put out a trade paperback collection of it!
Author JOE CASEY himself wrote a 2-part history of the series + a retrospective on the extra-wild 4th issue:
