Yes: This one have lot of antropomorphic animals who speak, like others from Jason. And, yeah, let's say this is postmodern like; A musketeer (Athos) who live in the XXIth siécle and fight against a martian invasion. Ok, it's very postmodern.
But: What do this Comic-book different from "Propositional Player"? Maybe a lot o things, but I what to talk about one: References.
Use and reuse of references are the identity of Postmodernism: We kwon the codes, and we know that all of you know the codes, so we'll shouldn't have to be naif and we'll assumed that you don't know the codes. Other of the shapes of postmodernity is the re-coded of Histories who all know, specially all kind of mythos: Heaven, Heel, Aprhodite, Janus, Apollo, etc. and look all of this mythos behind a new light, maybe more cynical, more detached. Laugh and amusement: nothing is sacred. No God, no Illustration, all are Great Meta-narrations. Let´s assume all this things: the Metanarrations don't have true values, only are a sort of bunch of such a such things that ancients told and believe. Death to Atenas. Long live to Las Vegas!
Well, say this, let's find us some references to make something new... And yeah, "Propositional Player" looked for this ones on the same place like Neil Gaiman did. And, like I said before, Neil Gaiman did this in a way that was great -like Alan Moore way.

And Jason? Well, Jason look sharper at Pulp and old Ci-fi. Look to Narrative and fictions: Flash Gordon, "Martian Princess", Alexander Dumas' books, Carver, Kafka... and the re-combination is, as always, incredible. Funny, marvellous, irreverent. A good-damn story about people -and martians.
Maybe I feel some boring about all the silly postmodernism: That one that think who doing a new version of "Red Riding" with girls with sub-machineguns, chinesse food, Granny witches and sarcastic were-wolfs it's always original.
