Love Junkie Raw Comics: The New Frontier in Sequential Storytelling
The "New" Wave:
What makes the current iteration of Love Junkie Raw so distinct is its rejection of "toxic positivity." The new issues (specifically issues #4 and #5 of the ongoing series, and the just-released Love Junkie Raw: Withdrawal one-shot) delve into Codependency Recovery—but not the sanitized version. They ask the question: What happens when you stop being a love junkie, and have to face the silence of being alone?
Editorial reviews are calling this the "Post-Junk" phase. Without the high of the toxic relationship, Nova doesn't find peace. Instead, they find boredom. They find rage. They sign up for a dating app and immediately delete it. They buy a plant and kill it by overwatering—a desperate attempt to love anything. love junkie raw comics new
