Title: Forgettable
Product review: At his best, Bantock's work carries a visual and narrative sense of the unseen, of mysterious forces guiding the visible characters. Those stories feature evocative artwork, in complex and layered imagery, often in ways that invite (or demand) direct involvement of the reader.Unfortunately, as in this case, the narrative mystery sometimes just turns to murk. Likewise, some of the artwork, including one image that seems central to the plot, becomes so dense and dark that it becomes nearly illegible. Given so many visual elements with most in such fragmentary condition, I found a paradox of too much and not enough information for its meaning to come clear. Not all of the book's art suffered that fate, though, and I wish that more of the book had been in the art and less in the text.I'll keep coming back to Bantock's work, because I liked his earlier work so much. I found this disappointing, however.-- wiredweird
