Like dreams, it's sometimes difficult, but worth it..., August 13, 2007
This review is from: The Nightmarist (Paperback)
Duncan Rouleau is a talented artist with an ability to construct a manic page that manages to pull the reader into the beauty of the design while still pushing his story along. He puts more in one panel than most comic books have on a ful page. So, it makes sense that one of his first solo efforts, both writing and drawing, is so image heavy.
THE NIGHTMARIST is a horror comic about one woman under siege by powerful forces who are trying to take control of her dreams, and so she has to go through her own internal visions to save herself from their deathly grip. The surreal aspects look amazing coming from Duncan Rouleau's pen, but as is often the case with these kinds of stories, the narrative gets muddled by the imagery. Rouleau alternately explains too much and too little, leaving the reader confused more often than not. Still, there are some good concepts and plenty of eye candy.
