Esoteric Begoth
I’ve got my bubblegum out, my video games piled high, and now a fun new bit of pop culture to add to my collection - a hypno-themed comic book. Oh, but it gets even better - it is a goth, hypno-themed comic book. Wait, let me get my black clothes and my eye-liner and I’m so there. Hmm, I suspect I’ll stay in the closet for this one and revel with my flash-light under the cover.
No, it doesn’t look anything like the classic comic books, but it could still be interesting. Anyone actually seen it? The Hypnotic Gaze is put out by Bleeding Edge as part of the Begoth books.

I have a copy. (Of course I would have a copy.)
The comic is based on a line of collectible dolls: Hypnotica is one of the characters (she’s the one on the cover in red and black) who has spirals for pupils. (Each of the characters has some kind of goth-inspired pupil.) There is a whole page where she uses her hypnotic gaze (which she really dislikes using: apparently something from her past really turned bad when she used it) to help free a friend of theirs who had been forcibly hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital, all something her vindictive brother arranged. She “convinces” a nurse to help release their friend and off they go. The actual page is a treasure of spirals and sparkly lights and blank eyes on the part of the nurse. However, that’s the only hypnosis related page: the entire comic serves as an introduction to a number of characters, not all of whom are together. I think this was the only issue published.
