Geof Darrow

Come for the Frank Miller story...and be either disappointed, or not surprised that the once-great Miller sucks here.

Stay for the Geof Darrow art, that elevates a crap story to something actually worth suffering through, just to see one more panel by the great Darrow.

All the stars for Darrow. All but three stars removed for the typical Miller crap.

This book is insane... and I loved it! Geof Darrow, the artist, is amazing! His full pages are so intricate and full of life! The are kind of like "Where's Waldo", but full of violence, nudity, and lots and lots of trash! Nixon is absolutely insane and his fight with the grandma-looking unit is epic! If you like carnage, mayhem, and super cool artwork, this is your jam!

Another compendium of Matrix Comics, collecting previously-published material from whatisthematrix.com and some new content. This is perhaps a little more consistent than the previous collection in terms of writing, theme, and artwork, but is still mostly going to appeal to dedicated Matrix fans. A couple of particularly intriguing stories pick up where the last movie left off, and I was pleased to see more humour and irony than the somewhat po-faced entries that dominated the first volume

That's a whole lot of zombie slaughter. A bit exhausting? Perhaps, but so is Darrow's hyper-detailed method. When he flashbacks to the lesson of his master for inspiration, you'll want the fight to continue, too.
