Well, the first one back is certainly a unique book. James sent this to me from Germany, apparently it will be available in the U.S. soon in a different format (you can still get this one on his website though). That’s a good thing because this one, while fascinating, is a bit hard to follow. It seems to be the ramblings of a man who is compelled to do horrible things, but who and why are a mystery. James says that it will soon be a continuing story and all will be explained, so I guess I’ll accept that. Frankly, the art style isn’t for me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s exceptional, and I can see how this was a series of paintings before he turned it into a comic. People who like Heavy Metal or things like that will love this, and probably many other people. Maybe I’m just easily grossed out. It’s worth a closer look and, despite my protests, I plan on getting the first issue or so of the continuing series. He describes it on his site as a combination of Heironymous Bosch and Image comics. I’d agree with Bosch but not the Image part, unless he has something planned for the series that I’m not picking up on. The bottom line of all this is that this book is worth a look. Here’s what you’re getting yourself in for:<\/p>\n
