CITY OF OTHERS You know you're in Wrightson territory when a supposedly pregnant woman is
wheeled into airport security. A quick examination of her stomach shows fresh
sutures. Seems she isn't pregnant. She's carrying something. A living human
head. The human head is soon reunited with its body and we are thrust into bizarre
new universe where we have no idea of the ground rules. Then we think we are
going along for the ride with heartless hitman Stosh Bludowski. Blud for short.
Cute.
From there we get zombies, I think and vampires.
This is a weird book. In the editorial page in the back they admit that this
is a long and twisted story and we have to give it time. I can see that. I can
see that it will have enough of a pay off to give it a few issues to see if
I'm right. If I'm wrong it's still like pizza, especially when it comes to Bernie
Wrightson, even if it's bad. It's still pizza.
