Set in the home of a satellite asteroid orbiting the Earth, peaceful remission The quiet life of elderly couple Marlene and Jerry Nomo is disrupted by a mysterious nocturnal noise. But the real tension lies not in the noise, but in Marlene’s smoldering frustration with Jerry’s passivity. The incident sparked an emotional conflict and revealed a rift in their long-standing relationship. When Jerry’s obsession with his latest discovery forces Marlene to assume responsibility for her own health and well-being, seemingly mundane tasks like shopping, driving, and caring are refracted through a surreal, futuristic lens that emphasizes the emotional weight of everyday life and the quiet heroism of unspoken love. Encapsulating themes of marital exhaustion, silent devotion, and the illusion of tranquility, this surreal, meditative work is told through clean, futuristic interiors contrasted with intimate character compositions. In this fragmented yet lyrical story that alternates between dialogue and silent observation, Jonathan Dijo Nkondo uses the sterile stillness of space as a metaphor for emotional distance, crafting a story that feels both timeless and eerily present.
peaceful remission ‘ will be released to readers at bookstores and comic shops on September 16th.
