Overview
Nod Away is set on a near-future version of earth. A deep space transport has been developed to take a small crew to an earth-like, habitable planet in a nearby system in an attempt to begin colonization/repopulation. The internet is now telepathic and referred to as the ""innernet."" When the hub is revealed to be a human child, Melody McCabe is hired to develop the new nexus on the second International Space Station. Working within the structure of sci-fi, Nod Away moves back and forth between physical and psychological worlds, utilizing traditional and abstract storytelling styles to explore what consciousness could be, where it could possibly be located, and what function or point it might serve.

Reviews
For centuries THEY said the only good exports from the rural Midwest were marijuana and yard art but now THEY are all scrambling to learn the name JOSH COTTER because THEY are stupid and names like JOSH COTTER are hard for THEM to pronounce. Missouri may as well be Mars there is no one in comics like Josh Cotter. There are no comics in comics like Josh Cotter s. Josh is like a weird antenna picking up signals only he can hear and broadcasting out these stunning and beautiful waves of strangeness and delight. We are all better off for it, and for him. This stupid goddamn toilet industry deserves so much less than the likes of him and his work.--Matt Fraction (Sex Criminals, Hawkeye, Casanova)
