Great news for my fellow comic nerds out there! Flex Mentallo is coming! After years of being tied up in legal limbo, this never before collected work that combines the talents of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely is finally being printed here state-side for American consumption.
The story is spun out of Morrison's work on Doom Patrol, and follows body builder Flex Mentallo on a journey of self-discovery and meta-fiction weirdness...I'm down.
Not only does it feature the talents of my favorite writer/illustrator duo, but it comes in a snazzy hard cover OVERSIZED format. Bonus!
From the looks of things, this beautiful piece of work will be hitting shelves sometime in February. Something to look forward to.
Props to Multiversity Comics for helping me notice this...they got it from Vertigo: Graphic Content.
I've had Monster Truck on my radar for a while now, but Comics Alliance just released a sneak preview, and it looks insane, and insanely awesome.
This uncouth graphic novel has a neat little twist to it: The art is 100% continuous; The edge of one page bleeds onto the next, so what you see at the right edge, will become the left edge of the following page. Technically, this is an 108 page piece of sequential art. I fully expect Monster Truck to be one crazy hallucinogenic voyage. Check out some of the preview pages below, and you can see what I mean about the sequential art.
