Bunny who writes about comics like you wouldn’t believe. Read Shelfdust! For Darkseid!
What I love is how the creative team pay attention to the “little people” caught up in this and never forget them. They understand that even a grandiose galactic war has a civilian cost, and they include domestic and social consequences.
It ramps up further and further into this glorious manic craziness, as the villain and hero escalate their fight into ever greater spirals of chaos.
That means magic, swordplay, and giant capitalist robots. Can’t believe they got away with the Ford logo here
Back to the shelf!! Time for the first volume of Nemesis the Warlock.
I had no idea what to expect and honestly I think that’s what Pat Mills and Kevin O’Neill wanted. It’s wild imagination; hi-tech spaceship chases and mystical history; war stories, social drama, everything
“Why should I dream of being so threatened when things are going so well?”
Halo Jones is such a clever construction of youthful disillusionment, which feels increasingly powerful today: https://shelfdust.com/2023/07/28/dust-to-dust-going-out-out-with-halo-jones/

Rounding out the book are Stone Island and The Harrowing, two connected stories with lurid and violent body horror. The Harrowing has a moment of unnecessary transphobia, which soured me on both stories. This is an image from a different page, so you can see the art style
Those are the only two pages I think I can safely post! It’s an experience though, trust me.
The collection also has A Love Like Blood, a melodramatic romance between a vampire and a werewolf illustrated by an early Frazer Irving. It didn’t grab me, and was hard to follow
