Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse, Volume 3: Calamari Rising

Seriously, whose bright idea was it to cancel this brilliant series after only three graphic novels' worth of material? It just seems like such a bloody waste, because these characters could have gone so many interesting places, and they are relatively uique within the genre. But I guess it's good that they went out on a high note after having saved the world from the squid legions and ahving revealed some of Wormwood's major character secrets than to drag on from crisis to crisis. Wormwood is't just any ordianry supernatural worm, don't you know, and even he gets tired of having to be the protagonist all the time.

Wonderfully dark and humorous. A nice, quick short read. It also manages to somehow capture the Lovecraftian feel of a mad universe completely against us that really doesn't even know we exist. Thankfully in a August Delerth twist, we have a protector, a beneficial god who protects us. For better or worse, that is the Worm Wormwood, a beer swilling, skirt chasing, worm ridding a rotting corpse who's been around for far too long. At least if you believe any of his stories.

Continuing from Vol 2. The Brotherhood of the Calamari finally track Wormwood down, which is bad news for Earth. Leaving his friends to protect the pub, he teams up with Elvis to save the day.
The third volume is full of the same wonderful art and slick sick humour that was found in the previous volumes. Plus we also get a little more back story and some new entertaining characters. But can someone suggest how I remove that graphic Image of alternate Elvis? So very wrong.
