In fact, let's just stop the review right here. Those crazy Brits. Now Vertigo has kindly reprinted the entire 11 chapters in a single trade paperback. In this dark and pungent satire, Nigel Gibson, a disaffected teenager, wanders lonely and rebellious through the halls of high school. One fateful night, though, he bumps into Terry Adair, a serious loony with a penchant for plumbing metaphors who has decided it is his life's mission to kill God.
Terry is swept into a circus of church bombings, doomsday cults and posturing politicians.
Mike Allred, that kooky fellow who gave us Madman , has just launched a new miniseries with this album-sized wonder. As always, Mike's groovy pop art stylings and bold colors leap off the page. The printing and the design on this one are magnificent. Although this is only the first of seven issues, the story is already classic Allred. When Red Rocket 7, America's biggest pop star, disappears on the eve of telling his biggest secret to a magazine reporter, said reporter embarks on a cross-country search to uncover Red's mysterious past.
