I've decided to start making the pictures of covers larger. The format I've been using is no good for picking out cover detail.
Even though I had no idea what was really going on, this was a rather entertaining comic. The demonic characters in the story actually evince some compassionate behaviours, which I was fully not expecting from a pseudo-Manga like this. Usually the demons want to kill everything and then violate it. But these demons seem to care about their fellow ethereal beings, and have romantic feelings for one another. I've not idea what was going on with the police characters in the story, so instead I just read the comic as a demonic romance piece and left it at that.
The artwork is quite good, and includes some really neat panel layouts and perspectives. Michel Lacombe has a nice handle on visual storytelling, which is sometimes something of a rarity in comics published by small presses. The really gifted artists tend to graduate to the major publishers before very long.
An interesting little part of a story. More tomorrow.
To be continued.
