Couldn't miss out on this one!!!! Major regrets for not buyin' Kill or Be Killed, Fatale book one, Descender book two, and the first three Lazarus hardcovers. Please convince Image to reprint more HC's, Omar. Pretty please.

I loved this series so much that I went and got the Green Arrow OHC by Lemire and Sorrentino, mostly because of Andrea’s phenomenal art. For that alone i am likely to upgrade from tpb to OHC. I love how the art is used to create a sense of disorientation and confusion. The colors and arrangement invoke a slight feeling of dread for something unseen, but insidious. This is my favorite horror comic of the past couple of years. If you like this, i’d recommend “A Walk Through Hell” by Garth Ennis.

Even though I really want this standing in my bookcase, I felt like the double splash pages really didn't translate well to a thicker format even with the TPBs. Glad you touched upon that towards the end, cause this series really employs those kind of splashes and unorthodox panel work etc a LOT. I'd say that's probably its best feat - the story is interesting enough but it felt rushed and anticlimactic towards the end to me. I haven't read the single issues, but I can imagine they do the artwork and storytelling style more justice. Honestly reading this digitally is probably the way to go in that respect. Kind of a shame, but I guess it can't be helped.

@@LoneWolf-ky7cq I stretched the spine. I did everything you’re supposed to. It’s just a shoddily made book. But also, thicker books are just prone to droop and other issues unless you build a shoe for them. I’d sooner have more and thinner books that don’t need molly coddling-but not TPBs, because they too easily warp.
@Emma-R 2 жыл бұрын
I actually prefer thinner deluxe hardcovers. With glossy paper, more than 400 pages tears too much at the spine when standing straight up. Also they become too heavy to read comfortably. About 300 pages is ideal. For the same reason I store all of my omnibuses horizontally.

I love Jeff Lemire but this is one of the most disappointing stories I've read since I started collecting graphic novels. Completely messed up the ending, and it felt like the story never went anywhere. Lemire's Essex County, Underwater Welder, and Black Hammer are on a different planet to Gideon Falls.
