Remember Remender?
Fear Agent
Black Science
Deadly Class
Damn. I wish I had more time to read comics, cause with Low, Crawl Space, and Tokyo Ghost on the shelf, you are too busy for me, Mr. Remender.
So then I sit down to finally catch up and go 1-9 on Seven to Eternity. I keep wanting to slide into familiar patterns of adventure team narratives, to settle on the slippery ethics of the surviving mosak, to figure out whether the Mud King’s is beguilement or pragmatism. Unnerving and I have no freaking idea where you intend to go with this baroque monster epic!
I’ll wait as long as it takes and be ready to fall down the well of Jerome Opena’s hyper-texturized linework, dramatic composition, and broad imagination with Matt Hollingsworths deep moody meticulous coloring that drags me like a slide through some surreal glowing cavern while the twisted spine of Remender’s tale bounces from philosophy to choreographed violence to arcane magic and familiar but skewed creatures and peoples, touching genres from spaghetti western, to cyberpunk to Shaw Brothers-- and the crazy paradox of non-compromise like a string of bare-bulbed lights in the ceiling of a mine. Down the Rabbit Hole.
Just for clarification, of the Seven, do you remember who heard an offer and who accepted an offer?
10’s coming in. I’m a’ waiting

ReplyDeleteHeya, Griffin! Remember Rememberer the Rick of Rememnder! Thanks for all the kind words. Hopefully after this and the next couple issues you'll start to see where we're taking this maniac circus. Things are gonna heat up. As to your question which Mosak hear/accepted an offer, we're gonna have to keep that on the downlow for the remainder of this story. By the end it should all be clear, bus as you've see in this issue, there are few people strong enough to not harbor a wish so deep they'd be willing to step into the Mud King's service for it.
