Hand Me Down is a TKO Short comic by Alex Paknadel. It follows the lives of Reuben and Lyra who are on the brink of divorce when Reuben gets promoted at work. In keeping with Reuben's desire for a different lifestyle they move to a glitzy new neighborhood in order to keep up with the Joneses. The couple are invited to a risqué soiree hosted by Reuben's boss Magnus who wants his guests to enjoy the darker side of life. When Lyra realizes that the attendees are part of a secretive society that swaps partners she quickly leaves the party and goes home. When Reuben comes home Lyra sees that he is a changed person and not for the good.
Hand Me Down is part of TKO Presents second wave of shorts published earlier this year. While only 19 pages, it is still a compelling horror story with an unexpected twist at the end. Check it out. After all, it's only $2.99.
5 out of 5 stars.
