4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Jodorowsky-style mystic insanity.,
By Gabriel Matthew Martinez (Hollywood, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Horde (Paperback)
This graphic novel has everything: a resurgent Russia/Soviet Union run by a dictator who's also a former science fiction writer (complete with a fusion of Nazi/Soviet graphic design--sorta like if Eduard Limonov & the National Bolsheviks took over Russia), a Chechen dervish who's also an avatar of Shiva, the unquiet spirit of a long-dead Mongolian lama who was also the last reincarnation of Ghengis Khan, a telekinetic Ukrainian colonel born in Chernobyl who thinks the world is run by a Jewish-Masonic conspiracy... oh, yeah, and UFOs who steal the body of Lenin. Don't worry, it all makes sense at the end. Sort of.
Melding together Tibetan/Mongolian Buddhism, Islamic mysticism, and science fiction, this comic is a triumph of Jodorowsky-style mystic weirdness. Some people live, some people die, and some people finally resolve their karma. It's bloody, strange, futuristic, does a good job touching on the esoteric doctrines of several incompatible belief systems, and the artwork is flat-out amazing. Highly recommended! |
