Comic Review: Chronicles Of Wormwood Volume 1

Chronicles Of Wormwood Volume 1

Chronicles Of Wormwood Volume 1

An Avatar story about the Anti-Christ and Jesus, trying to live their lives away from the grip of their fathers. Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher) and illustrator Jacen Burrows (Threshold, Crossed) show you two friends trying to avoid their destiny’s.

Danny Wormwood is a successful cable TV executive, who’s life is perfect. He spends his time with his two best friends and a girlfriend who loves him. A couple things, his one friend Jimmy happens to be a talking rabbit. His other friend happens to be the reincarnation of Jesus. He is mildly retarded due to a police brutality incident. Also Danny is the Anti-Christ and his father wants him to start Armageddon. Other than that a pretty normal guy.

Hilariously funny and brutal. If you like comics infused with religion, this one takes you to some pretty interesting places. Best part, their depiction of the pope. He may be different than you remember him.

Comic Review: Crossed Volume 1

 

Crossed Volume 1

Crossed Volume 1

Bloody, vile, disgusting, violent, shocking, brutal, unforgiving and grotesque. If you don’t like this combination of words than Garth Ennis’s (Hitman, Fury:MAX) Crossed from Avatar is not the comic for you.

The world changed in the blink of an eye. People started to change and when they became infected, they turned crossed. People became unstoppable machines who’s sole purpose was to kill and rape at every waking moment. A group of people have banned together who just happened to be near each other when the world turned. There is no resistance or plan to take back the world, there is only survival.

You are either going to love this comic (hopefully not in some sexual way) or you will hate it. Behind all the violence there is a story. It’s about people, who they become and what they do when the worst is happening. Jacen Burrows (Wormwood, Scars) artwork shows the horrors and fear of the Crossed world. If you like this series, the current incarnation is a bi-monthly series called Crossed:Badlands which starts a new story every 3-5 issues. Also there is a free web-comic series called Crossed:Wish You Were Here at http://www.crossedcomic.com/.
