thanks for the comic. style and content reminded me a lot of 'The Prophet'. (There's a dude called John Prophet that this ailing empire clones a fuckton of and shoots off to a billion planets in order to recolonize the galaxy when the empire fails. Story follows the fratricidal arc of these eponymous prophets as they struggle with identity and power in an alien world.)

Amazing comic. Anything more by the creator? I wonder whether he had concrete inspiration or was just being creative.

Not necessarily weird for the sake of weird, but unusual + narratively coherent

Remove the middle part and you can probably find some Borges or Poe that has the same vibe.

I'd say Clive Barker if /lit/ agrees to not lynch me.

The manga of Junji Ito is the only thing I can really think of similar to that. Uzumaki (Spiral) is the most famous.
That's the only thing I can think of that's truly similar, but I would say this fits within the genre of "weird fiction" so you should look into that. Jeff VanDermar and his wife put together a real good collection just titled The Weird.

Prophet is the fucking tops, and similarly bizarre. No where near as horrific though.

Reminds me of The Wasp Factory in some weird way as well.
