Things don't go well in today's issue.
See, that's the other thing about this very awesome wave of big gay comics that came out of Vertigo: they're very unhappy. Early Vertigo horror was often less about fear than it was about despair. The Vertigo creators were often exploring the depths to which one could plummet and still be recognizably human.
I'm concerned, in today's case, that the one doing the plummeting is, ostensibly, an angel.
Dan Sweetman is fucking chameleonic in this issue. He instantly teleports from 90's Beautiful Stories-esque line work to something resembling a 30s film storyboard look and back again, with insane and wonderful panel layouts that only slightly confuse sometimes, though I suspect that's the point.
I think I may have said this way back when I read some of the Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children issues, but I'm amazed that Sweetman and Louapre's work hasn't garnered more attention.
Hmmmm....
"And, no, it didn't come from Atlantis. It came from Lemuria."
