Infidel delivers on what’s scary about all of those enormous concepts, but perhaps more importantly gives similar horrific weight to the mundane inconveniences and atrocities of modern life and connects them to the aforementioned huge horrors. We’re talking about highly entrenched societal ills like racism, xenophobia, terrorism, murder. To look at how Pornsak Pichetshote and Aaron Campbell are successful is to look deep into what scares me about the world.

Infidel is tough for me to write about because it is so damn real and so damn scary.

As we spend more time with them, however, (and as more residents seem to encounter them), it seems like they aren’t so much the cause of the bigotry, but the result of it.

For some reason, when I read the solicit for this series, I imagined that the specters in this series somehow caused the islamophobia that runs rampant throughout Aisha’s building that it was somehow responsible for making people hateful. And they really do seem to come from those problems. Last month, Patrick remarked on how both real and scary Infidel is - that is, the horrors of this book come from societies worst (but all too real) problems. Pornshak Pichetshote and Aaron Campbell’s Infidel 5 takes this uncomfortable truth and and shows just how persistent racism can be, even in the face of literal demons. Whatever else is going on, the looming specter of prejudice is going to warp everything else, muting solutions to all other societal problems. It’s a series of prejudices and assumptions based on lies passed down by generations of systems put in place to keep the powerful in power. One of the more insidious is also one of the more pointless: racism. Patrick: There is a lot to be stressed out about in 2018. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. If you haven’t read the issue yet, proceed at your own risk!
