Heavy Metal Presents The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The Chosen, Book 2
by Flames R. [Featured Reviewer] Date Added: 10/02/2012 20:39:39

The Horsemen are back, and you better be strapped in for what is about to go down. Book 2 is a balls to the wall non-stop thrill ride that is going to punch you in the face and not look back. Following the events of the first book, Helldiver, The Chosen shows the rest of the formation of the group that will save Earth from its impending doom.

You would think that the visuals could not get any better than they were before, but they did. Each page is alive with such vibrant color. The art by Bisley is so GORE-Geous. His character designs are flat-out jaw dropping, and the amount of detail in each panel is stunning. There is no way in Hell (pun intended) that this book could look any better. His designs for the Horsemen alone, left a craving in this decapitated head for posters, t-shirts and so much more.

The story kicks it into full gear as we round and head towards finish line. Mendheim, Kennedy and Jaffee deliver a story that is perfect on every level. The highlight of this issue to me, was the explanation of why this cast was being chosen to save the world. The amount of detail in their pasts added a level of compassion to my mind that most comics can not make happen. I love these characters, and I love how they are being presented. Of course this is the middle book of the trilogy, so it covers what it needs to and leaves you craving more.

I can not express how amazing this series has been so far. I am deeply saddened that it will end with the next book, but I think that there is so much more to explore in this universe. I would say run, don’t walk to your local shop to pick this one up, but I would be lying. You need to get a transporter and just zap yourself there, because you are missing out already if you do not have this book in your hands. READ IT, you will not be sorry. This is easily going to be in my top books of 2013 list.

I am not sure how exactly to split my feelings into like and dislike. I just know I was left unsatisfied with this and its sequel WDII. As a result, I cannot recommend this to anyone who is not a teenager wondering about life. It was just lacking in form and style for me.

The Water
by Jim C. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 01/12/2007 00:00:00

A surreal quasi-religious journey through a world where mostly-insane survivors live in stranded ships on the dried-up bed of a lost sea.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: Symbols everywhere: a fish, an anchor (once known as the crux dissimulata), the belly of the whale ..<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Two pages of scanned ads for some dubious sister magazines of Heavy Metal. They're mildly amusing but I'm not happy to take up my disk space and download time for straight-up porn ads.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

This is a great story told by incredible artwork. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would really like to game in a setting such as that shown.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: Great story and artwork!<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: It is LITERALLY taken from the pages. That is to say, it's a scan. I'd like to see more resolution, but I realize at 44MB, it's already HUGE!<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

Four short tales of mediaeval sex and death. Some of the twists are pretty obvious but one or two might surprise. The cover gives a good indication of the style.

But is it art? I think it has its moments. It's not such a cynical exercise as it might at first appear, apart from the title, for which there's not much more to be said really.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
