This is the second time i've read it, its been so long. I've leant this comic out to more people than i can remember. I've tried to get as many people as possible on the hickman bandwagon, because as it currently stands, i'd have to give him the title of lord and master of sequential art...and the stunning thing is, HE'S JUST GETTING STARTED. The first time i read nightly news it was like a thunderbolt, on this second go around, i'm stunned, again at how good it is. This is the future of comics. I've gotten many co workers to read it and some were smart enough to get it, and love it, and a couple others just couldn't get past the design. (And they were art school kids, ironically. Snickersnicker) but either way, Hickman's mastery of design, dialogue, and pretty much everything is on display in this vicious piece of work. Viciously compelling. Compellingly vicious. It's fucking amazing. It's a creative work i hope to achieve, not in the execution or copying, but in the tone that it takes...it's tailor made for a generation of kids that grew up on rage against the machine and system of a down. I would like to adopt a similiar body of work.
