Warren Ellis' Blackgas ReviewThis trade comprises the two Black gas minis that came out of Avatar Press last year and the year before.
The first half is pretty good with an interesting story, but the second half that comprises the Black Gas 2 mini is awfull. Ellis has said in interives that he did the book on a dare from the head of Avatar Press. The head of Avatar dared him to write a zombie comic so Ellis did, and it realy shows.
Ellis seemes uninterested in the story after the first mini and phones in a second mini series and ending that mirrors Return of the Living Dead almost exactly. The fact that he copys the ending almost exactly is both depresing and infuriating. It is just lazy, and it surprises me that a writter that prides himself so much for his originality would do that.
Combine that with the fact that the second half moves too fast and has no character development at all, and you end up with a blood and guts book from an author who is capable of so much more. The art is well done and gives a somber menacing edge to the work that helps a great deal, but it gets wasted in the second half as it feels usless. Fumura treats us to huge grotesque orgies of sex and violence(often combined) but it all feels like shock for shock sake. It all feels explotive and painfully nihalistic.
The fact that the books themselves got dealyed so much makes me even more angry with the final product. If you really want a zombie book from avatar try the Escape of the Living Dead or Night of the Living Dead books, they work far better. Of course neither is as good as the Walking Dead from Robert Kirkman, but they are fun reads, which is far more than i can say for this book.
Truely a disapointment.Warren Ellis' Blackgas OverviewWarren Ellis, the creator of TRANSMETROPOLITAN and PLANETARY, unleashes a new kind of zombie horror. A tiny little island off the east coast of America sit on a fault in the underlying tectonic plate. On a night beset by a fierce storm and an earthquake simultaneously, the fault line cracks, releasing something foul from the Earth's guts, blown across the little coastal town of Smoky Island. The only two people on the island who were outside the reach of the black gas are now trapped on a spit of rock with a population that aren't what we'd call "people" anymore. After all, they started eating each other an hour ago... and it's about to get worse.
