Title: Philosphy meets the 4 color world
Review: Philosphy as the setting for the drama of a comic book? Or is that the other way around: a comic book as a setting for philosphy. Either way it's different and it's interesting.Alan Moore underpins his drama with timeless philosphy and well researched metaphysics. As long as he can maintain the drama in this complicated form he'll be fine.The characters are intriguing and touching, with a degree of surreal clarity that grabs hold and won't let go.Unfortunately this collection has the first 6 issues but the initial story arc doesn't climax until issue 8 where events are resolved and it prepares to pick up again.Allow me to mention the high marks for the book's excellent production values: good paper and color printing, excellent binding, solid construction.
