| While I haven't read his run on the Hunter series, I have read HICKSVILLE and ATLAS, as well as a great essay that exposes what a lame demagouge Scott Campbell is via deconstructing UNDERSTANDING COMICS. I hope the second issue of ATLAS comes out soon. His whole metaphor of comics as cartography really makes reading his stuff exciting on an intellectual level in a way only a few other creators have struck me (Morrison and Moore come to mind). While not nearly as consumed as Grant is on metaphysical questions, Horrocks is clearly engaged with the comics medium as an artistic expressive form in a strikingly theoretical way. The self-reflexive nature of both HICKSVILLE and what's out so far of ATLAS suggest that Horrocks, like Grant and others, is prepared to wow the comics world with his pomo prowess. |
