New Eden...

[fajrdrako]

I saw four movies this weekend. Four! And I want to talk about them but my brain seems to have fizzled into pablum and I can hardly put one word in front of another.

I also read a magnificent comic. A trade paperback, actually - I hadn't seen it in the stores, but borrowed it from a friend. It's called Kane - Greetings from New Eden. It's a story about an American cop named Kane who comes back to the force after suspension for shooting his partner. He is given another partner and the comic covers various cases. There's a review of it here: Anthony Johnston reviews "Kane: Greetings from New Eden".

I just loved it, beginning to end. A lot remains unexplained, especially regarding Kane and his past. Just because I enjoyed it so much I scanned two pages, so if you want to see them, here's page 28 and here's page 29.

I apologize for my part in turning your brain to pablum (but it was very nice to talk with you for so long, even if it did keep you up too late!)... and mine feels that way right now, as well, but I wanted you to know that it seems that your two links both lead to Page 28 of the comic. And now you have me curious about what Kane says after " ...'My Time in Hell'?..."

The art is wonderful. Reminds me of the good old days with things like Love & Rockets, and the early independents who were all doing such lovely and daring stuff. Great time to be a comics fan! ...except that runs were small, prices were high, and distribution was terribly spotty. But, hey!

Thanks for pointing out that the link was wrong - I fixed it, so you can see what Kane says now. I really like that page!

Yes, it does have a bit of the Love and Rockets feel. And reminds me of both Frank Miller and Hugo Pratt, not artists I've generally thought of in the same breath before. And see, I can remember Hugo Pratt's name now.
