Wolfskin

[The Recluse]

Anyone else pick this up? I was quite impressed. There really is no fantasy genre that Ellis can't do well...and Juan Jose Ryp's art is perfect for this sort of blood and guts story. It's not breaking any new ground...but it is a well done "sword and sorcery" type book (although I didn't actually notice any sorcery happening so perhaps that description's not entirely accurate:)).

Read it yesterday and it's a fun over the top hack and slash book. Blood and limbs all over the place, drawn in a grotesque way which makes you chuckle looking at it.

dig all the background info ellis puts into this . i loved "wolfskin" gettin all barfy at just the sight of the "machine" - the same guy who was splatering every bodys blood n guts every wich way just moments ago

[Woodwose]

Is this title a one shot?

[OutlawJW]

Its a Mini-series. Seems to be running late now. I thought issue one was cool, and hope to see #2 sooner then later.

I'm looking forward to picking it up, but what's with the delay? I could do without more of those.

To those who have read it: How does it compare to Conan? Better? Worse?

Well of course its not as good as Conan. Come on, how many comics on the stands are?

Only the one issue released. It was pretty good. Extremely gory. With an interesting juxposition of "honorable" killing vs killing from afar. The hero's aversion to technology, after wading knee-deep in blood and intestines, is very funny.

[pennywisdom]

Ha! An original Ellis character with an aversion to technology. That's priceless. You have to love the irony there.

i havent read a conan since buscema was doing it...but i dont remember conan ever eating enemys ...so yes wolfskin is better . plus no oiled up shwarenzenagers

AAAARRRRRRRR.

URRRRGG. That hurts my chest.
Still a bit crappy here, but back at
work, performing triage on the
schedule. Publishers should not take
this note as an excuse to bug me --
am typing as fast as I can for all.

* WOLFSKIN: there was some kind
of scheduling miscommunication that
I still don't quite understand.
Should be back on track within the
next couple of months and serialisation
completed promptly from that
point.

There.

re #3 - best last page in any comic ever.

Yep, that pretty much sums up human existence, doesn't it. Curse the heavens all you want, the crow will still eat your eyeballs.

[ultramandingo]

and its fun to ask the comic shop guys for an avatar book , they give you that " sure thing sicko"' look -whos reading war angel or lady death - those t and a adds in the back crack me up! yet they publish ellis , ennis and allan freekin moore ( kinda )

[Arvandor]

The first two issues were good, but this was a magnificent finale.
