Author’s Note: The comic features scenes that discuss or demonstrate self-harm or suicide ideas.
In a recent interview he did for Robert Kirkman and David Finch and Skinbreaker, Kirkman said that one of the best parts of working on the book is that he doesn’t have to stick to his busy monthly comic book schedule. He was able to take his time and do his best job. While it took a while to draw #8 of blood, the final result is worth the wait, so I bring this up.
The bloody drawing was finally left as the bookman from Shane’s “Book” was wobbling again on the cliff. His attempt to go to Hollywood and try to get the ship right in the radically repositioned Ronin Ragdols movie did not work. His attempts to reunite with his hometown family did not go well. Faced with his failure to self-awareness, the book swallows itself into stray and faces ghosts of the past, present and future.
Despite all the hints to Christmas carols (which Brooks points out sarcasmically throughout the book), the bloody #8 is primarily going back to the past. Here we show that David Avallone hits readers with a sucker punch, breaking down the book’s relationship one by one…and reveals that it may not have been his fault. From the first page it is clear that the comic will become a tragedy, but Avalon only strengthens it, leading to the moment when the book commits suicide. It’s a moment when treated with the right amount of gravity, and an appropriate amount of accumulation considering where the story went.
Before that, the hallucinations of the book return and try to speak to him from his fugue state. This time it’s not just ragdolls. The superhero, known as the Night Avenger, joins the fight, similar to the Devil’s Overdog (here called “Darkseid of the Dollar Store”). This is your chance for Ben Bishop and Troy to shake up their art style. prosperity.
However, the most intense hits are the flashback sequences. Bishop and Kevin Eastman did a great job with flashbacks to paint blood, making sure they feel as realistic as possible, but now we need a new dimension. The pages after the page show a book that leaves his friends, his ex-wife, and even his ex-wife when things go wrong, and even his brother. Even at the time he was spiral, but the last few pages show that he has an unexpected guardian angel.
Drawing #8 returns with a gloomy story as its hero hits the bottom of a rock and faces the literal ghost of his past. I’m glad this book is back. I’m glad you handled these moments with integrity and the gravity that is worthy of them. The creative team definitely needs to spend the time needed for this final issue.
