In 'And the Ass Saw the Angel' Nick Cave pulled out all the stops to tell the disturbing story of Euchrid Eucrow, a mute pariah born into desperate poverty. At times I had to take a break from reading it as it was so steeped in despair! (Now that's a story I'd like to see as a graphic novel ;) Sometimes writers take it a little too far, where the pleasure in reading is lost and hopelessness rules all...however there is truth in despair and it can be portrayed in such a powerful way :) Fine choice of words, sounds most intriguing :) I think it to be a real achievement when a writer has the ability to create a stifled, suffocated world, ensuring their readers get a real sense of the tense and unremitting claustrophobia that permeates the action.

I wanna check out this book! It's been a while since I've read a good comic! The last was 'The Fountain' and I fucking loved that, but I had to read it, like, 50 goddamn times before I REALLY understood it. The film is faithful to the book, so naturally it's difficult to grasp in the same way. It's a very deep story. Good shit, bro, I must check this comic out! Peace. -M.T.S.

Here’s to you, Mr. Pouncey!

I confess I don’t know much about comic books (although they are how I learned to read — another story for another time), but I always admire clear thinking and clear writing.

Still, it sounds like the strengths are in the visuals and overall pacing, with nihilistic undertones.
