Armageddonquest Book Two: Beast (Comic) (Kindle 1 & 2 Graphic Novel) [Kindle Edition]

Ronald Russell Roach (Author, Illustrator)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

"A completely overlooked trilogy of graphic novels about the Antichrist. Drawn by Roach over a 20-year period on anything from typing paper to napkins to worse, from what I understand, it's brilliant. Printed before its time; the right publisher could make a nice killing on its quirkiness."
- TOM SPURGEON, COMICSREPORTER.COM

BOOK TWO begins with our lovely Anti-Christ's indoctrination into the real world - school, shopping in the local town market, confronting the clergy, making friends...but all the while, secrets of his past begin to rear their ugly collective heads. Who is THERON? Who is ANTON ARCANE? Also: Tazio's mother, MARIANGELA, decides it's time to kill her prophesied-to-be demonaic (but awfully loveable right now) son once and for all! Pathos, bathos, and incredibly intricate storytelling make up this second of twenty books! PLUS: Bonus FATHER GIORGIO Illustrated Prose story in the back!

ARMAGEDDONQUEST is the story of Tazio, the reluctant Anti-Christ, as he travels from birth to the very moment of ARMAGEDDON. An epic modern-fantasy-horror adventure over 850+ pages and TWENTY Books all told! Created, written, and illustrated by Ronald Russel Roach (3R), this is one of the greatest of the lost and forgotten underground comix classics, now remastered and re-presented for modern audiences.

More About the Author

I'm an American who has been living in Copenhagen since 1984. I've also been writing stories and drawing comics all my life but always considered it an obsessive hobby (along with other once-hippy activities like song-writing, playing guitar, etc). But then my 900-page opus, ARMAGEDDONQUEST, got published as a Trilogy in 1997 due to circumstance and whim, so now I'm a pro!

AQ is currently experiencing a renaissance as a web-comic ( www.armageddonquest.com ) and is being republished as the originally intended 20 issue comic book series. As for my other works, comics & short stories, songs & drawings, most of them posted on my personal "3R Home Page", which you are invited to visit at: www.danbbs.dk/~3r

This review is from: Armageddonquest Book Two: Beast (Comic) (Kindle 1 & 2 Graphic Novel) (Kindle Edition)

The first volume of Armageddonquest set the stage and began the telling of the childhood of Tazio, born to be the anti-christ but not sure that he wants to be. Book two continues the story, as Tazio begins to go to school in the nearby twon, and realizes he isn't the normal boy he wants to boy. As his murderous mother continues to try to kill him, Tazio begins to wonder if being evil would be so wrong after all. The plot doesn't slow down yet the deep moral questions still find a place to work themselves in. Great writing, characters, and plot make this one a sure pick up, and has left me looking for Armageddonquest Book Three: Ego.
