Cinema Purgatorio, #1
In a world of used ideas spun out into unending single-premise sagas and told in full cyber-enhanced Technicolor, unapologetically we offer up CINEMA PURGATORIO, a black and white horror anthology which reaches for something both new and startling beyond the endlessly recycled characters and concepts of the 60s and the 70s. An anthology, to let its authors exercise the discipline and the invention that only short stories can provide – and out of which the vast majority of today’s memorable franchises were created – and black and white in order to impose that selfsame discipline upon its artists by removing the alluring camouflage of colour and requiring the same values that the classic comic illustrators made their byword. Why shouldn’t the 21st century enjoy the craft and quality that the E.C. and Warren luminaries managed, but with an originality and freshness born entirely of our anxious present and uncertain future? Why shouldn’t the world once more have horror stories which compel their audience to tremulously tell themselves “It’s just a movie; just a film”?
CINEMA PURGATORIO is an unholy resurrection of the backstreet bug-hutches and fleapits practicing their eerie silver mesmerism on our post-war predecessors, drenched in atmosphere and other less identifiable decoctions. The threadbare arenas to a generation’s adolescent fumblings and upholstery-slashing rage alike, these peeling Deco temples were the haunted, flickering spaces where were bred the dreads and the desires of those Macmillan days; Eisenhower nights. Varnished with blood and Brylcreem, in our razor-collared cutting edge collection we restore the broken-bulb emporiums where, in the creaking backseats, modern terror and monstrosity were shamelessly conceived. In our worn aisles and glossy pages the most individual and inventive talents in contemporary comics are delivering a landmark midnight matinee in monochrome, intent on pushing both the genre and the medium beyond their stagnant formulas and into shapes that suit the unique shadows and disquiets of our present moment.
Take your curling ticket from the withered and embittered woman in the booth, regard uneasily the lobby cards for movies recalled vaguely from a clammy dream, then, if you dare, follow the failing flashlight-puddle of the usherette on down into a different kind of dark.

Cinema Purgatorio has a certain appeal that is unique to uncolored comics. The details are more pronounced, and the readers will definitely see the effort put into each illustration by the artists.
Cinema Purgatorio is a collection of smaller mini-issues of different stories. Because of this, the reading experience remains fresh despite each story being short that the reader won't be that invested.
I bought this because most of the writers contributing to Cinema Purgatorio are award-winning, so this series is really worth looking at. Read first the first issue then see for yourself if this is your cup of tea.

"¿De verdad existen los sueños recurrentes? En serio, ¿cómo podrías estar seguro de que, simplemente, no estabas soñando que lo has soñado antes?".
"Cinema Purgatorio" es una colección de historias cortas encabezada por Alan Moore y Kevin O'Neill, los autores de "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", que deciden, con aire macarra, retratar diferentes neuras sobre el cine a modo de subversión del séptimo arte. No lo hacen solos, les acompañan Garth Ennis, Raúlo Cáceres, Max Brooks, Michael DiPascale, Kieron Gillen, Ignacio Calero, Christos Gage y Gabriel Andrade. Y, como en casi todos los compendios de historias cortas de diversos autores, no todas pueden estar al mismo nivel.
Las series que componen este volumen son:
-"Cinema Purgatorio": la que da título a la serie y mi favorita, gracias a cómo Alan Moore se burla de todo lo que esperamos y es capaz de jugar con los clichés, ya sea del cine negro o del péplum . Además, dibuja O'Neill, con lo cual me recuerda al aire macarra de otros de sus trabajos. Seguramente, la más brillante tras el aire de sátira. Como curiosidad, debo señalar que tengo la teoría de que, en realidad, ese cine es el purgatorio, el lugar al que vas cuando no se abren las puertas del cielo ni las garras del infierno para ti. Imagínate pasar toda la eternidad viendo pelis en un cine de mala muerte, ¿valdría la pena?
-"Código Pru" de Garth Ennis y Raúlo Cáceres tiene un potencial genial: trata de una joven que trabaja en una ambulancia que recorre una ciudad plagada de vampiros, zombis, monstruos al estilo Frankenstein, etc. El aire gamberro de Ennis también está presente, pero quizás es un alegato sobre la marginación y qué es ser un monstruo.
-"Modis" de Kieron Gillen e Ignacio Calero tiene una premisa que vale la pena: imagina Pokémon en un mundo posapocalíptico al estilo "Mad Max". ¿Suena raro? ¿Sí? Pues sus autores hacen algunas historias simpáticas, aunque, a veces, se pierdan en el efectismo o en el humor más grotesco.
-"Una unión más perfecta" de Max Brooks y Michael DiPascale busca ser una especie de ucronía sobre qué hubiera pasado si la guerra civil estadounidense hubiera sido contra cucarachas gigantes. No me ha dicho nada, aunque esté escrita por el autor de "Guerra mundial Z".
-"Colosal" de Christos Gage y Gabriel Andrade trata de un mundo de monstruos gigantes al estilo Godzilla, capaces de hacer mutar el mundo. Tampoco me ha dicho nada, aunque haya alguna idea aislada interesante.
En conclusión, me dijo un amigo que si terminaba leyéndome "Cinema Purgatorio" iba a sentir, en algún instante, que estaba pagando más por las historias cortas de Alan Moore que por las escritas por el resto de los creadores. Sin duda, "Cinema Purgatorio" es la mejor, pero "Código Pru" e incluso "Modis" están muy bien. Lástima que, al menos en sus primeras entregas, "Una unión más perfecta" y "Colosal" no estén a su nivel. No obstante, seguiremos descubriendo más recovecos de este "Cinema Purgatorio".

Meh... he quedado como estaba. Un batiburrillo de historias de varios guionistas y dibujantes que no convence ni al más entregado.

Alan Moore can always be counted on to come up with a compelling story, well researched, fathoms deep, filled with great characters. And when he works with crazy ass Kevin O'Neill, it just doesn't get any better. The fault here lies with me, specifically the shallowness of my knowledge of cinema history. I still enjoyed it, but a lot of things soared like an eagle over my head. I still reveled in watching these guys do their thing, but a lot of their efforts were lost on me. So if you have a more than passing familiarity with the whole early Hollywood thing, I think this would be a wise choice.

Reading the first 14 (of ultimately 18) issues of Cinema Purgatorio. I bought the series for the the eponymous story by Alan Moore, but ultimatley decided to read all of them (in order to not become insulted by the cost). All of the other series, all are relatively solid (the only "Clunker" is "A More Perfect Union" and even that one can be solid.
Cinema Purgatorio is a basically a recurring nightmare where an the narrator wakes up every time in a Purgatorial anachronistic movie theater watching a short, essentially on loop. It's either an existential treastise, an exploration of the lurid side of Hollywood or a deconstruction/subversion of a genre.
The series have a very Jerusalem and Jimmy's End kind of feel to them. More the framework of Jerusalem (infinite recurence and loops) and Jimmy's End uneasiness and confusion. It's great fun, and an excellent running start for Moore and Kevin's Oneil's final comic work "LOEG IV: The Tempest".
Code Pru is probably my second favorite work--basically CSI: Supernatural. It's a special unit police officer working on cases involving Vampires, Ghosts and Zombies. Each chapter is basically a case. This is perhaps feels like Garth Ennis at his most human writing for a few years--even though he's writing very inhuman characters.
The Vast is basically a Kaiju Monster story with a well-written narrative by Christos Gage. It's not a genre I'm usually a fan of, but I'm surprised at how well Gage does world and rule building within this universe in less than about 70 pages.
Modded is a "Pokemon in Hell" by Kieron Gillen. It's not Gillen's best work, but its probably the best play on the concept--it's also probably the funniest book of the lot.
Lastly is "A More Perfect Union" which is basically the Civil War but also with Ants. It's got some interesting historical reference, but by far the clunkiest installment from the reel. It's basically "Them!" but taking place in the Civil War.
The best take away--is that none of these stories feel decompressed, it's extremely impressive this anthology how much story you ultimately feel you are getting (although it's a bit pricey of a book, and Avatar has been struggling to put it out in time). Anthologies are the lifeblood of the medium in terms of experimentation--I just with the industry would try more high profile books like this. And that they'd succeed.

Cinema Purgatorio #1
A black-and-white anthology series built around a series of ongoing shorts from the creative team behind The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Cinema Purgatorio developed some fairly interesting works from a host of primarily UK-based writers. The titular strip by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill was a surreal tale of an unnamed viewer trapped into watching a series of haunting black-and-white silent films. The opening issue features the film entitled, "The Fatal Officers in 'Hushed Up!'", a horrifying tale of cops carrying out a ghastly murder and covering it up. The film makes no thematic sense since it's pretty much all terrible stuff being seen, and our narrator is equally confused once the film ends. The strip ends with her deciding to stay on and watch whatever comes next, indicating to some extent that she might be trapped in a "purgatory" state willingly.
"Code Pru" by Ennis and Carceres is the next feature in this debut issue, and it tells the story of Prudence, AKA Pru, who works for the FDNY as a paramedic and encounters paranormal events. The opening story depicts Pru's run-in with a vampire, delivered in gorgeously rendered black-and-white artwork that is almost reminiscent of Charles Burns' work on Black Hole. Story is pretty simple, but incredibly well drawn and entertaining enough as an opening chapter.
The remaining stories include "Modded" by Gillen and Calero, featuring a ritual that summons a demon in a post-apocalyptic type setting, "A More Perfect Union" by Brooks and DiPascale which details the command of the 20th Maine during the Civil War, and "The Vast by Gage and Andrade which depicts some fighter pilots attacking a Lovecraftian entity destroying a city. Each story here is the first chapter and indicates more to come.
A solidly entertaining anthology featuring some major names in the industry, but also has them working at a high level. Well worth checking out.

This note covers 13 issues of Cinema Purgatorio, but only the Alan Moore part. I know that's unfair to "Code Pru," a most entertaining "Bringing out the dead" meets "Fables," as well as the other stories in the anthology but I cheated and read all of Moore first, so here we go.
Cinema Purgatorio is a nightmare loop in black and white where an unknown first person narrator wakes up every time in something akin to the movie theater Travis Bickle frequented and watches the next twisted flick. The movies themselves fall mostly into two categories: heavy existential themes and dark ugly secrets of the golden age of Hollywood, each time using another classic genre distortion.
The setup itself feels very much like Moore's "Jimmy's End" and that's a great scary thing. A smirking cautionary tale of a sticky after-life made of all the soul-eroding things that got you there in the first place. The path to hell, the path of least resistance, ending in a loop.
To paraphrase the setting: "The night is young and you have a drink, and there are some girls there, and who knows Jimmy? who knows? ... didn't work? don't worry here's a new day, lets toast to it."
As for the "movies" themselves, my favorite from the existential ones is the roman epic a la Joseph L. Mankiewicz, with actors realizing bit by bit their cardboard existence is the ultimate method acting exercise.
The series really shine however, on the true Hollywood stories. Real-life horror put through zany genre. The alienating manipulative life of a movie exec as Groucho Marx swindling other Bros, the true story of The Bat, and above all the Black Dahlia as a musical.
It is all great insight and twisted fun, dark dark fun. Enjoy if you dare.

Beginnings of a handful of serialized stories by some great creators... Anyone keeping up with these stories know what I'm missing? I go back to discovering Moore, David Lloyd, and the crew of the British anthology Warrior as it appeared, but I could not help but compare with the younger creators here. The cinema metaphor feels slight, awaiting the stories to progress.

Muito diferente das narrativas que estou acostumado. Causa certo estranhamento mas existe um bom e variado conteúdo aqui. As histórias roteirizadas pelo Garth Ennis e pelo Christos Gage foram as que eu mais gostei. A do Kieron Gillen também é interessante, lembra um pouco Love, Death and Robots.
Por essas três histórias, fiquei curioso pela continuação.
Talvez eu compre o volume 2.

It took me a little while to fully get what Moore and O'Neill were doing here but my word, the results are incredibly rewarding. A bizarre, nightmarish journey through the darkest edges of Hollywood's seedy past, juxtaposed with a slowly revealed main narrative which has a truly chilling denouement. Moore is simply the master of the comic medium and he is at the height of his powers here.

Bloody marvellous! For an Alan Moore fan and a movie nerd this is a must. Moore is just so clever it feels like he's showing off. This is so packed full I'll definitely need another read to catch the things I've surely missed.

Has a very early 20th century pulp feel. Nice little vignettes of stories, but the art style doesn't appeal
May 19, 2016
Another Alan Moore I was less excited about... Individual comics are so short, and this was a collection of stories, in an individual comic. The introduction by Alan and Kevin about cheap cinemas and old movies was just a kind of nostalgia I couldn't get in to. Seeing the ultra modern violence done as period key stone cops just didn't work for me. The 2nd story about the suicidal vampire was my favourite of the bunch (also the only one with a female character). The other stories didn't really interest me much either, pokemon demons in a post--apocalyptic world, something about the American civil war? And I feel like I'm forgetting one. It was also kinda disappointing that with as many artists and writers that worked on this there wasn't a single woman included. I don't think I'll be bothering with the 2nd volume.

Alan Moore fronting a horror anthology. Like all anthologies, it's a bit hit and miss. Moore is my favourite, but more for the fact that his stories are self contained snapshots each month as opposed to the others that feel like a chopped up graphic novel.

Worth the price of entry alone for Kieron Gillen and Ignacio Calero's Modded billed as Mad Max meets Pokemon. Calero's art evoke's a hyper detailed Simon Bisley.

The stories are intriguing. Not sure what I was expecting. Looking forward to the next volume.
