"Cardoselli’s hyper-detailed, endlessly creative art suggests a chunkier, funnier version of artists like Moebius and Geoff Darrow. The action moves quickly, leaving readers wanting more. It’s a cheerfully nihilistic ramble through a wild, deadly wasteland that feels eerily prescient."
Description
One man’s trash is another man's living. Since earth became inhospitable, humanity escaped ages ago to live in a space station floating above the atmosphere. Now Travis and his crew of garbage men are tasked with cleaning up mountains of toxic waste, working for a company called Atomic Bros INC., to create a ‘Clear World’. But when one of Travis’ crew members goes missing near an old nuclear facility Travis' job becomes a bit more complicated.

Reviews
"The chaotic nature of the narrative is served perfectly by Cardoselli’s (Sweet Downfall) bumpy, blotchy, almost infected-looking illustrations of grotesque human forms, nightmare landscapes, and the occasional elegant pink flamingo. [...] Delightfully sinister and gleefully borrowing from its apocalyptic forbears, this is a fatalistic fever dream."
Emilia Packard
"Cardoselli’s artwork is what truly brings this story to life. His chunky lines and generally dirty pages fit in perfectly with his tale of a trashed and abandoned Earth."
"Strange, surreal, intelligent, and deeply compelling."
David Brooke
"Don't Spit in the Wind is engrossing and captivating as uniquely envisioned by Cardoselli. Reminiscent of Wall-E with the mysterious tension of a Hitchcock thriller, the first issue expertly introduces readers to a funky future world that shames humanity's failings while establishing a dark twist all its own. Nothing looks like Don't Spit in the Wind [...]"
Hank Rea
"Cardoselli’s storytelling about cynical trash cleaners adds a murderous twist to an intriguing mystery, and Dan Lee’s coloring makes Cardoselli’s unique art style significantly better."
Gabriel Hernandez
"Paints a great picture of the dystopian world that humanity has caused."
