Going to try to get back to my weekly magazine. Otherwise it'll be the 90 Years of Comics Project, and I'd like to think that I'll finish this strange and interesting journey one day.
I'm trying to figure out ways to get the rest of my comic collection into the house and out of the garage, and the magazines, Heavy Metal and otherwise, are amongst those items in the garage. The other night I brought a couple of boxes in, and this magazine had been put into one of the boxes while I was packing. It's been a while since I read an issue, so I thought I'd check it out.
Pat Mills loves to right ultra-violence. I know that that's a given for anyone who's read 2000A.D., but I'm not super-familiar with that magazine, or Mills' work in general, so it was a bit of a revelation for me. I enjoyed Claudia Vampire Knight: Violent Women, despite not having any background for the series. After a moment's confusion, the context of the piece helped me understand the setting. It was pretty cool, very violent, and quite funny, actually. The other long-from piece in this issue was Call of the Locnar, a call-back to some of the oldest HM stories, and featured some flashes of setting that I remember from watching Heavy Metal the movie in my pre-teen years. I wonder how it would hold up these days.
More, hopefully, to follow.
