But R.E.M. is not just a psychological thriller. The framing and look of the story are based on 50's film noir and it has science-fiction elements.
R.E.M. was funded using Kickstarter. The campaign is over, but the graphic novel managed to reach an astonishing $17,569. They only needed $7,000! The reasoning was probably the great perks offered by the creators, including some of Zsombor Huska's gorgeous artwork on cell phone cases and t-shirts.
