Jason Starr - Welcome to Graphic Novels!
12. Januar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As I am turning 50 this year, sometimes I lie awake at night worrying that Grant Morrison, Garth Ennis and Mark Millar are getting old too. And they are all spending more and more time writing standard super hero comics and less and less time writing for Vertigo. So what is to become of sick, disturbing, gripping, supernatural comics that are exciting and mind-blowing?!!! Fear not, Jason Starr is ready, willing and more than capable of carrying on! The Chill has everything a good supernatural thriller needs: Irish mysticism, spooky art, sex, love, and characters who say "fook" and "Jaysus" a lot. Hard boiled NY cop meets hard boiled Irish cop to battle a serial killing team that terrorizes New York and every sex-starved inhabitant. Jason Starr creates a bizarre and alluring plot set to a furious pace, and Mitch Bertilorenzi complements with compelling scenes of lust, sex and death. Like other works by Starr, it is disturbing and funny and most of the characters set new lows for our species. Yet in this story Starr allows us a spark of hope in the survival, morally and physically, of one likable protagonist. So my advice is, dim the lights, pour yourself a Guiness, settle in a comfortable chair in front of the fire and enjoy the ride. Then, of course, hide the book from anyone under 17.

Very Bizarre, But Captivating
25. Juni 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is one of the strangest of the Vertigo Crime imprints, but it is one that is hard to turn away from or forget. The characterization is very strong and the illustration work is excellent. What it fails somewhat is its ability to say just the right amount: the ambitious story tried to do too much, which made it messy in places.

As a paperback thriller, could have achieved mediocrity.
16. Januar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The Vertigo crime series combines established authors ("proper books") with talented artists. This is the second one I've read (the other was Rankin's attempt at Hellblazer), and I remain unconvinced.
The core concept is good, but overlooks the simple truth that "books" and "comic books" aren't the same medium - talented writers in one area can easily flounder in the other.
In the case of The Chill, Starr has put together the rough outline for a fast-paced (if utterly predictable) supernatural thriller and then... quit. A pair of Irish serial killers (dad & daughter) hop around New York - sexing people and then killing them in some sort of uncomfortable, Druidic fashion. A burnt out cop and... another burnt out cop... are both on their trail.
This would've been a fairly bog-standard airport thriller novel, but, in comic book form, doesn't even achieve that level of mediocrity. This is a collection of set-piece scenes for said novel - except it saves the author the effort of writing description by hiring an artist. As writing, it feels awkward. And as art, it isn't any good either - Bertilorenzi relies on bare boobs and messy corpses for titillation rather than actually trying to create atmosphere.
I like the core concept to this series, but they've still yet to impress me.
