I bought Latter Days. It was a quiet month, comics-wise, and I was curious enough to want to finish the story. Having read it, though obviously not all of it, I wish I'd followed my earlier instinct and just stopped after Form & Void. When people - adolescent males, often - talk about artists and writers and musicians touched by madness with reverence and awe, what they fail to realise is that madness is often deeply, deeply boring.
And all the God vs Yoohooh stuff in the commentaries is so comic-book. It's not the meaning of life. It's a retcon. What if the God in the Torah was actually two Gods, one good, one evil? And we'll reinterpret the whole of scripture to fit in with that preposterous theory, handing out as many No-Prizes as are necessary to cover the cracks along the way. It reminds me of Xavier becoming Onslaught in 90s X-Men, and anything reminiscent of 90s X-Men has to be a disaster. |
