Recoil is a 14+ story about Kalo, a boy who screams to solve all his problems, who is kidnapped into super power therapy with a bunch of other angry and confused children. It was created by Spire Eaton.

Chapter 1
The comic begins with Kalo and his friend Becca getting ready for Kalo's band's concert. After the concert, Kalo and Becca swing by Becca's friend Jamie's house, where he is smoking weed in his garage. Becca expresses concern for Jamie continuously missing school. Kalo uncomfortably asks if Becca's parents are expecting her home any time soon, and it is implied that Becca has a difficult home life.

The next morning, Kalo and Becca wake up late for school. They make it to homeroom just in time. Kalo seems on edge and the sounds around him feel jarring and louder than usual. He nervously asks Becca if secondhand weed can have any strange side effects.

Kalo returns to his own home after school, exhausted. At dinner, he has a moment where his own words and then the sound of his sister Orre speaking becomes distorted. His family don't seem to notice. He is alarmed by this and decides to go to bed early.

When he wakes up, he joins his mum to watch the news, where a woman who we later find out to be Agent Fukuda is being interviewed about a robbery suspect. Kalo goes to hang out with Becca for the day and they write a new song together. They enthusiastically jam together before Becca's dad yells at her to shut up. Becca gets upset and Kalo offers to pick up some chicken wings to cheer her up.

While Kalo is out, Jamie swings by with a bag of drugs. She texts Kalo to tell him Jamie brought "goods", but doesn't reply to the Kalo's followup texts to ask what she means. Becca and Jamie go down to the kitchen looking for snacks. The walls around them are starting to crack, and Jamie jokes that they're both seeing the same hallucination. Becca starts to feel sick.

Kalo arrives back with the food, but the house seems silent and no one answers his calls. He finds Becca lying on the kitchen floor, seemingly passed out with a small trashcan tucked under her arm. At first Kalo thinks she's dead, but Becca says she thinks she overdosed so Kalo starts to call 911. As he begins to speak to the operator, he hears a loud crack. He looks up to see the kitchen ceiling cracking in a distinctive shape.

The house begins to crumble around them. Kalo grabs Becca and tries to run to the door with her, but is struck by falling debris and collapses. The pair are buried in the rubble.
