About the author
Bill Sienkiewicz
970 books145 followersBoleslav William Felix Robert Sienkiewicz is an American artist known for his work in comic books—particularly for Marvel Comics' New Mutants, Moon Knight, and Elektra: Assassin. He is the co-creator of the character David Haller / Legion, the basis for the FX television series Legion.
Sienkiewicz's work in the 1980s was considered revolutionary in mainstream US comics due to his highly stylized art that verged on abstraction and made use of oil painting, photorealism, collage, mimeograph, and other forms generally uncommon in comic books.

4.3/5
Sienkiewicz brings this four-part story to a fairly satisfying conclusion. I got used to the borderline incomprehensible art that was nonetheless beautiful and disturbing to look at. The story meandered a bit here and there but its threads came together in a nice, surreal bow that compliments its themes well. I'll be reading this one again.

There's a limit to symbolism and metaphor just like everything else and Sienk overdid both by the end of the first quarter. The ending tied them together with incredible art and visceral emotion but I was too fed up by then. This only got **** as a single entity.
Specifically speaking- in, out, up, down and around (circuitous-ha!) mommy issues are EXHAUSTING when you beat the reader with them all about the head, neck, chest, arms, hands, ribs, guts, crotch, legs, ankles, feet and so on.
Of course he missed a critical one that would have happened in the physical world instead of lofty literary mechanization. A woman who was on the floor with her child had a gun pointed at them and didn't get into a protective fetal position! Jeeeez- what a boner!
BUT- there was splendid religious and science (often the same thing*) commentary throughout that I delighted in! Why did I just remember that after writing the reviews? See above.
*There is nary such thing as an atheist. Either their religion is science or they're a nihilist.
