I suppose its hyper realism or post-modern. It reminded me of Sin City in this respect. The mix of Gods is fascinating and I like the New Gods. It does make sense. I may even have one of these comics in the attic. Or where they graphic novels? As for vomics, is that a new kind of barfable comic BiLl or a typo?WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-32876689359379211852017-07-17T18:11:08.253+01:002017-07-17T18:11:08.253+01:00he is good isn't he!

Both are excellent, but the series stalls slightly around the middle with the episode 'Git Gone', which centres on the heroes dead girlfriend and is quite unnecessary to the main story. There are some wonderful portrayals of godlike creatures such as the six foot brawling leprechaun and the man eating far eadtern goddess. Where it all falls down for me is the ultra excessive gore and unpleasantly graphic sex scenes, which come across as completely gratuititous in their detail. Where it comes back with a roundhouse punch is Gillian Andersons startling depictions of I Love Lucy, Marylin Monroe and a fifties movie star. Anderson is an aspect of the modern pantheon of deities, Media and answers to Mr World. McShane steals every episode effortlessly though flashing from the pathetic whining pensioner to the All Father in all his magical glory in the blink of one of his hetrerochromatic eyes. Book is worth reading as it is only a fifth of the series and doesnt give much away. Preacher is worth watching too, based on Ennis and Dillons vomics, but bring the barf bag along again as its even more blood spattered!WOTANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09284353991724011392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-39382885172619834432017-07-16T11:57:12.932+01:002017-07-16T11:57:12.932+01:00Watched the first episode but it's too surreal...Watched the first episode but it's too surreal for me I'm afraid. McShane was superb, as he always is. (I adored Deadwood, he was magnificent in that).KevinDnoreply@blogger.com
