When comic readers look at successful collaborative partnerships, there is always a lingering question as to whether this team is really capable of moving forward. After all, not everyone can constantly introduce new and exciting concepts such as Brubaker & Phillips or Ennis & Dillon. However, after years of successful work, it seems that Lemire & Sorrentino have joined the higher level of partnerships as they present another batch of the first edition, after the already impressive likes primitiveAnd the Gideon FallsAnd the the passageeven green arrow. There is no doubt left about what Lemire & Sorrentino can do, and Ten thousand black feathers Delivers everything comic book fans of horror and suspense could hope to find.
Ten thousand black feathers #1 presents the second story of Orchard bone Mythos, a joint horror universe created by Lemire and Sorrentino, which led to the impractical moniker. However, the story itself does not require more readers than their interest. Those who are not familiar with orchard of bones understood or missed the passage They won’t even notice lost connections. Rather than using the concept to forcibly force readers to buy more comics, it establishes a tone and approach that makes the first issue interesting here.
The story centers on Trish and Jackie, two women whose passion for creative imagination connects them when they were young before tragic events. While the scope and nature of those tragic events are obscured, Ten thousand black feathers Uses non-linear narration to detail the course of their lives as children, adolescents, and adults. It provides readers with plenty of context – featuring first encounters, revealing family dynamics, and hinting at supernatural origins – while hiding the dark secrets of their young lives out of sight.
This approach ensures that readers are able to quickly invest in the women this story focuses on, as young geeks discover a place of comfort and safety with one another, while at the same time developing a sense of awe and building tension. While the dark facts that actually happened (and what will happen next) are hidden, Sorrentino’s approach to story presentation never allows readers to forget that something is hopelessly wrong. Confusing charts use concentric circles and odd charts to report without detailing what’s happening. Even on pages with familiar layouts, there are individual elements such as a city silhouette to create a sense of unease. Transitions in style, well used in primitiveto distinguish between the timelines and create a tacit understanding that things were better when Trish and Jackie first met as if the world has since vanished to present a rotten gift.
This does not mean that there are no fears or suggestions in the first issue. Two dashed pages provide dramatic effects and show that strong forces play a role, even if it remains difficult to identify. Both images serve to raise looming questions in readers’ minds – the kind of mystery that Lemire and Sorrentino prove can pay off. Along with some scary comments and an unnamed narrator, they leave Ten thousand black feathers On an irresistible slope.
Ten thousand black feathers #1 presents a terribly engaging puzzle just in time for the Halloween season. While many will be familiar with the horror, intrigue, reality-distorting broad strokes that air so much of Lemire & Sorrentino’s work, this comedian liked all of their collaborations before standing on their own unique merits. The love of fantasy and the realities of modern life intertwine when the tragedy of friendship is revealed. Above all those sympathetic threads hangs an unfathomable darkness, promising a horror story capable of shattering readers’ senses. Those who are familiar with their work won’t want to wait before joining Lemire & Sorrentino for a horrific story like this.
