Add a CommentThis is like Tintin meets Daniel Clowes (Deathray, Wilson). Disturbing and beautifully illustrated. Can't wait for 'The Hive'!
Charles Burns is usually very good at delivering an amazing experience, but X'ed Out feels incomplete. I immediately read The Hive after finishing this one, and still found myself wanting for information. My recommendation, wait for the final book to be released then read them all in one sitting.
5/31/12 A very well realized fantastic and nightmarish world, but it is going to take a while to get the whole thing published as this is just a beginning. (That cover owes something to one of the original Tintins, I think) ------------- 1/28/13 Just reread this to refresh my memory prior to reading Vol 2. Liked it better this time. It is definitely using Tin Tin as a template, and it works very well.
A vague and surreal journey of an injured young man that is compelling. If you enjoy the haunted lonely spaces inside Daniel Clowes' graphic novels then this book is highly recommended.
