Frickin' awesome. Good art, with dark stories tackling human rights, racism, xenophobia, treatment of veterans. Great stories. While mostly taking place in the future. This one also had a rocking pirate adventure. Do yourself a favor and read it. ( )

I read this series many a moons ago but didn't appreciate what was going on here. A subtle and coy way of expressing the segregation humanity foolishly projects on itself based off of something as simple as race, color and creed.

This is only the first 7 issues, I'm looking forward to a walk down memory lane. ( )

This is a dark and painful but beautiful story. The art is just stunning and plays a huge part in creating the emotions and reactions to this story as you find yourself believing that elephants, rhinoceroses, crocodiles and giraffes can be merged with humans and look like they are possible.
The story is deep and dark and show humanity at it's worst and sometimes at it's best, but mostly worst. I really found myself feeling for the Elephantmen featured in this first book, even the clear villain and I wanted them to have better lives than they had.
This is an uncomfortable book, not my usual fare but so wonderfully done that I want to read more. ( )
