I loved the Uma-Bride-Kali in the 'bride of frankenstein' manner here. The wasteland that the land of salvation became. This is Miles' Cup of Blood. This is grand guinol, a really frightening horror book. Chronos is pretty scary here, but it seems to be treated as 'the necessary evil', like daddy-Melmoth.
I just thought there would be more of Frank-n-Bride imagery, of FreakHorrorDaddy and FreakHorrorMomma being worked with, since the introduction of daddy issues and Cup-Of-Blood type of "taming the bitch-horse" in #2. I expected the grand guinol would have it's table turned in mid#3, but nothing yet and don't seem like it will. Indeed a horror book for the 21st century.
The Wasteland here doesn't seem to be having any signs that will become fertile and nourishing, it will be pretty much Kali Yuga's "The horror! The horror!" and no sign of a 'promised land' (wich was pretty cool since Frankie's relationship with the Bride feels dry and arid as hell and goes nowhere but into a wretched seaward/c-word). I hope tables will turn somewhere in #4 or SS#1 in a way I would never predict.
I'm just not getting any signs of Frankie's development, obstacles, goals or challenges being dealt with here at all concerning his characterization and path. And he's reminding me a bit of u2-Johnny-Cash's "The Wanderer".
Damn, these latest GM comics are really flavoring my reading moments. |
