The eyeballs were a little wonky, story has potential, will be reading the second volume. ( ) Parkinson-Morgan dedicates this first collection in part to Brandon Graham, and this is to his work on Prophet as the fires of Hell are to a half-burnt match. The decadent, depraved multiverse of K6BD, dead God(s) and all, is a feat of imagination unlike anything else going in comics right now that I can think of, and it feels like a gauntlet being thrown for every other writer-artist out there to pick up. My only quibbles with this first collection are that some of the meta-elements from the original web presentation have been dropped (most of the text pieces are gone, which is a real shame), but other than that this is straight-up the one book you can't miss in comics. Can't wait for volume 2 and beyond to be collected. this is a: -twisted heroes journey -w a diverse cast of characters -set in a fantastical fusion of the cosmologies of various religions and symbolic universes of various cultures from history/the globe -featuring equal parts violent gore and sentimental feelings -including critiques of historical forms of capitalism & authoritarianism -filtered thru a trans-feminist perspective -w a touch of "millennial" irony its great obvious religious inspirations include the dharmic traditions (mostly hinduism and thervada buddhism), abrahamic traditions (mostly judaism and pre-nicene christianity), and taoism i think some less obvious inspirations might include germanic paganism, hellenic paganism, jainism, confucianism, and shinto no reviews | add a review
