Hot Damn so F’n HM!

Uh. mm.

Weirdos:

288 the best expression of themes so far! Make it a regular! I mean, come on, wierd is our little sister around here and already describes half the metal fare, but, standouting! Made me shiver!

Ya see, at first i was confused cause my cover was a reprint of Death Dealer; i was delighted immediately, but it wasn’t weird. Shark Toofs sharks over a forest fire qualifies and who doesn’t love to see a Shark Toof? Well, not me.  Juxtaposed with HM, ya get a sense of each. But its Natalie Shau issue Queen Wierd: Choice gallery! Teasing innocent and darkly unreal indefinable threat. Its a “bondage cover” and utterly unique.

“House of Hearts Desire”--weird magicky--appreciate the brutal and splintered affect that zip-tone itch. About as weird, “The Bleeding” Bisley’s agonized anatomies, saturated color, and texture make everything he does intriguing. Feed him good stories!

“HELLRAISER: The Test” is standard weird; and PinHead gets all the good lines.  Enjoyed Torres’ realism and detail; its clinicality makes HELLRAISER’s creepy, eerie, weird.

Corben almost always creeps me out, so weird is just a happy accident for you guys on  Murky World (remember Bowzer and Hard John Apple’s Nuclear Hit Parade?)

Weird recipe: start with Peach Momoko! Bring on some psychedelia, asian compositions, concepts, contexts in HM like a hypo in the eye and then let us swim in the graceful narrative “Shaman Himiko”. Creepy Weird--Strangely Compelling.

“Mouth Baby”

Damn, that hurt my belly; King Crown Weird! Repulsed, Engrossed, Overwhelmed, by stark spare pallet and image wielded like brass knuckles over every expectation, dizzying braiding gender-tropes, trippy humor, contained chaos of ideas and deeply cynical, though practically realistic, conclusions. That Shit is Weird.

That’s the way to edit Heavy Metal, Mr. Morrison! These are the issues I wait for!

Griffin like the monster, Mauser like the gun
