The Illuminati
Is the government monitoring you? Are there secret organizations controlling society? Do creatures not of this world live among us? All of this and more is explored in this new thrilling series that delves into some of the horrifying truths hidden in plain sight.
This book is fantastic and I love the fact that Zenescope is continuing to branch out from their typical series to create new ones that are smart, intelligent and dipped in the fear of the familiar unknown. Conspiracy theories have been around as long as I can think of, I mean if someone doesn’t know the truth they’ll create it so they look smarter and more important than they are. It’s like playing telephone as well for each retelling things change and grow even more outrageous and it’s no wonder that nowadays we consider these folks crazier than the Mad Hatter.
The opening here in Tulsa at the Fairgrounds is great it doesn’t tell us a gosh darn thing it just piques the curiosity and makes you wonder what is going on. I won’t say it’s bloody brilliant but it does come damn close to it. Then to go where it did shocked the heck out of me and that’s pretty hard to do, also I want a pair of those gun-heeled shoes! Still I absolutely adore the fact that I went from shock to shock in my amazement of what was being done here. When I saw that I almost went overboard I wasn’t sure what was going on here but it was nothing like the reality of it and I totally misjudged what he was doing. Well done this is why I love comics and I love smart, intelligent and outside the box thinking this has me completely and utterly hooked.
The way this book is structured is brilliant and the ebb and flow of what we see and how things are revealed to us blew my mind. There is a great build up and we see one of those fringe type groups who like their President want to “Make America Great Again” and through all the excitement and such cause their followers to do the strangest things. Create an army of followers, don’t explicitly tell them to do horrendous deeds but encourage them to act out to those that wronged them. That is kind of what Hate Groups do right they incite their followers into a frenzy then sit back and what happens, okay the leaders do that, unless I got it wrong. Regardless what this story makes you think of and examine in our minds is sensationally well done.
I am a huge fan of the interiors here as well. The attention to detail and the manipulation of the varying weights in the linework is spectacular to see. The whole overall look of the characters is wonderful they have that elevated comic book style to them so it feels comfortable. The intensity he brings to this just blows me away, seriously you can feel the tension, anger and all of those insane thoughts getting to this guy and it’s kind of amazing. The utilisation of the page layouts and how we see the angles and perspective in the panels shows off a stellar eye for storytelling. The way backgrounds are utilised makes me somewhat happy as I would like to see more of them in use.
The writing with its pacing, structure, story development and the stellar characterisation are utterly delightful. There is this delicious tension built up and the reveal at the end of the issue drives me crazy because I want more and I want it now. The classification of our heart's a sin Cause me, me I want more Don't want to pump nobody's gas-I want more Don't want to kiss my boss's ass-I want more Don't want to take the first job I find-I want more yes I am singing that right now I can’t help it that is what it makes me feel.
This is going to be one of your new favourite series if it continues on like this. Utterly brilliant and bloody amazingly well done!
