Christian Ward art originally caught my eye with an appearance in Atomic ROBO but his work in OLYMPUS four-issue series that prompted me writing in July 2009: "" art Ward resembles acid sequence of 2001: A Space Odyssey Hat side dark of the Moon and someone then on Neon headlamps. "" As I appreciate and admire the skills and know-how involved in creating photo-realistic signs and figures, art that looks like what I dig is made by hand, as if life, human respiration daubed their fingers in the paint. The quality of the facts at hand what speaks to me most often in little strange across films worldwide, and it is apparent to me in my regular visits to the comic shop.
Nick Spencer, on the other hand, wrote very intelligent, witty dialogue for morning glory, a series of Image Comics and is also now works tirelessly to D.C. on the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS and other projects. GLORIES of the morning, in a mysterious boarding school is nothing but a joy to read, but I was wondering how well "sprawling, extravagant" art Ward mix with acerbic narration of Spencer.
THE vacancy infinite with a script by Spencer and art by Ward, based on a story by both, evokes a world where anyone can change their lives at any time, as long as they have the financial resources and stimulated to do so. All that is necessary is to download an application on your Smartphone, edit your user profile and then you'll have access to countless of alternate worlds, each representing a different than "you" path took - as simple as a world where you do not forget to get milk, as complex than that of a world where you have chosen a different romantic partner or a workplace. You still look, fundamentally and can safely interact with the alternate "you" in other worlds.
The implementation is a bit complicated - I read it twice and it is still a little disorder - and the explanation is provided by four pages of photos and text, which is an original idea, if slightly off-putting.
Once the story starts flowing, however, it is a good. Our hero is indecisive brand, which is the high percentage of vacationers in the world, constantly jumping into other alternate realities in hopes of improving its lot in life. Things work very well for him, as his psychiatrist, an alternative version of himself, he said, and Mark concludes his alternate self (s) dying in worlds far too much comfort. (Google has an RSS reader to help you follow all the news of your alternate realities). Then he meets a girl, and last page brings further conflict and danger in her life.
Probably my description makes history and sound installation more complicated than in execution. Spencer dialogue is snappy, Ward is wonderful and satisfying - there is a large splash of two-page spread that looks quite impressive and multiple variations on character mark appeared very nicely. Ward, as he noted in an interview to the resources of the comic strip, wanted to make art more "rooted in reality", and he did, without losing the fantastic, unreal aspects that make so attractive and distinctive for me in the first place.
If you want a reference to the film, the tender for endless vacations compares to "a mixture of (500) days of summer, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF the SPOTLESS MIND and creative," If that aid your mind wrap around the concept. This is a cool sci-fi premise delivered with style and action, with a story of love on the road.
Endless vacation is planned in a five-issue mini-series. Question # 1 keystroke comic shops tomorrow.
