This collection collects the entire four-issue limited series along with an exclusive acoustic four song EP composed and recorded specifically as a companion to the graphic novel! "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Max Bemis is the lead singer and primary lyricist of the band Say Anything. He is also co-singer alongside Chris Conley of the supergroup Two Tongues, which features members from Say Anything and Saves the Day. Other side music projects include Perma as well as Max Bemis and the Painful Splits. A life long comic fan, POLARITY is Bemis’s debut as a comic creator. Jorge Coelho is a Portuguese illustrator and comic book artist. Coelho studied Graphic Arts and Communication at António Arroio School of Arts from Lisbon, and is an amatuer bass player. From Booklist : Unlikely hero gets unexpected superpowers, fights for justice, defeats the baddie, and gets the girl—typical superhero plot, sure. But Tim Woods’ powers come from his bipolar-disorder meds, and his fight for justice takes the form of a viciously satisfying takedown of Brooklyn hipster culture. Once Tim catches on that his manic episodes cause more than just public nudity and paranoia, he starts small—outing the hypocrisy of the hipster elite at a loft party—and moves up to the big leagues: defeating the crackpot psychiatrist who has been manipulating his patients to create an army of weaponized psychotics. Bemis’ tongue-in-cheek dialogue is insouciantly self-aware—I’m the guy reluctantly making it safe to be a douchey indie rocker in a gentrified former ghetto, you big ugly mammoth—but Coelho’s gorgeous full-color art saves it from being a mere joke by bringing vivid life to Tim’s mania and adding a much-needed touch of pathos in delicately rendered facial expressions. Though the plot is nothing new, the hipster-bashing trappings and entrancing art certainly make up for it. --Sarah Hunter. Say Anything singer debuts 'Polarity' comic in April. Max Bemis describes a bipolar manic episode as feeling like you have superpowers. So it's fitting that he's recounting his struggles with the disorder in comic-book form after albums of songs about them. The lead singer of the indie-rock band Say Anything makes his debut as a comic writer with Polarity , a new four-issue miniseries out in April from Boom! Studios and featuring the art of Jorge Coelho. Fronting a band fulfilled one dream, and now Bemis has moved on to another, after wanting to be a screenwriter when he was younger and writing "really terrible feeble comics" when he was a little kid, he says. "I've always had a wealth of ideas for comics, but I'd never actually tried writing. I was sort of nervous about approaching a medium that I had such passion for. It would be like how I felt before I wrote my first song being such a music fan — can I do this?" Polarity is loosely based on Bemis' own life and dealing with bipolar disorder — his worst times with it were in his early 20, the age of his main character, a Brooklyn artist named Timothy Woods. Surrounded by hipsters and superficiality, Timothy survives a near-fatal car accident and in the aftermath discovers that his bipolar medication has actually been subduing an incredible set of powers. The series also mirrors Bemis' own character arc that he lived: "finding out I have bipolar, dealing with the disease, being in denial that I had it, screwing off and then eventually taking responsibility of it," he says. "That was sort of a drama in and of itself, so in crafting this main character, my goal is to create the ultimate archetype of a guy like me dealing with this." During a manic bipolar state, Bemis, 28, remembers that he'd potentially have delusions and basically operate in hyperspeed. "It's almost as if you were on drugs — psychedelic drugs meets uppers." But when it happens to Timothy, the singer explains, "the crazier he becomes, the more powerful he becomes.
