    Default Joe Golem Flesh & Blood

    #1 came out today, probably heavily overshadowed by the Hellboy winter special.

    I love this book. I love the world and the concept. I love Patrick's art and I'll miss him when he leaves after this.

    I won't miss Lori if she leaves town and I won't miss Patrick's drawings of her, either. Maybe it wouldn't bother me that she looks like someone's homely mother if they hadn't described her a being especially beautiful. It's odd, too, because his model is not someone's homely mother.

    But everything else about this was great!

    I guess only Mark and I read this. However:

    Multiversity has a really nice review of this issue. I agree with it a lot. I think this issue was tonally very in line with the somber tone of the novel.

    They also sat down with Reynolds to talk about his work on the book in general, now that he's departing.

    Man, I don't know how they're going to replace him. I hope they get someone with a similar style. I can't imagine the book switching over to a lighter or cartoonier style.

    Glad to hear it. I was really sick when I wrote that one and I was struggling to connect my thoughts.

    I keep trying to get into this but the comic just doesn't work for me other than the golem flash backs. For me the world was much richer in the novel.

    I like this book too. But i hope we get some post novel stories at some point. We know how Joe gets the answers about his dreams.
    Sorry to here Reynolds is leaving. His art is such a big part of the book.
    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
