Awesome! An army made up of genetically manipulated animals fight mankind after a plague wipes out most of humanity. How many ways can I say, what a great idea!
Best of the Elephantmen! It shows horrors of war to end all wars. The hopelessness, brutality and emotional side of the war.
Starlings makes the horrors and dehumanization of war plain in this volume. Also sets up the future of Hip, Ebony, and Obadiah. I guess that Nikken would consider Hip a failure, but is that right? Or does Hip perhaps realize the best of what humans are despite the conditioning he has received his entire life? Does that kind of reverse conditioning work on Yvette? The snuffing out of what makes her human? Leaving only the anger and hatred to survive?I like a book that forces me to ask questions o...
Awesome story, art, and coloring.
Love the artwork, and the premise, but there's not exactly a lot of ground covered in this volume - looking at other people's reviews, that seems to be the consensus; followed by the comment that Vol 01 is more rewarding. Well, good-o; looking forward to that one. I'd keep this one for the artwork alone (hence the four stars), but have to agree with Matt Sabonis that Yvette is pretty much the least interesting of the characters...
Using WWI reference as a framing device, Elephanmen: Volume Zero drops a raw cut of bloody meat in front of your eyes. A brutal, gruesome, look at the atrocities of war.
Best Elephantmen so far.
This volume collects tales that make up the back story for the series. It reads kind of like a WW II story, but in the crazy world of Elephantmen. Great art and a ton of extra features make this volume well worth it.
Good war turns both sides into monster story but would have preferred more time with Hip or Ebony as we don't see much of them. But still really good to see a interesting take on the idea that no matter what war will corrupt you type story as we see one side literally filled with monsters and we see one of the characters also becoming a 'monster' too.
I really love this series. I couldn't get over how gorgeous the art in the first volume was and this is more of the same. This volume focuses on the war between the elephantmen and the humans. It did get a little repetitive, the message is war is bad and it is really driven home. But one thing I loved this for was making the bad ass solider everyone is terrified of into a woman. Something that so rarely happens in comics and was really great. I would have liked to have seen more of the elephantm...
I read volume 01 first, not thinking to look for volume 00. If I had not done it this way, I would probably have never made it past 00. Though okay, I found it repetitive in setting up the back story, and lacking in the strength that volume 1 has. I have not made it through the other volumes yet, but I hope that they do not stagger back to this level.
After a 5 year wait - graphic novel wise Elephantmen finally gives up a war story, as we get to see a lot of what the Elephantmen did in Africa's Blitzkrieg of Europe!..Yeah.. in this story... one of the huge differences to anything else out there is a world where disease, followed by Africa and China sees the decimation of Europe! Which is quite daring writing, especially as Starkings doesn't pitch it on racial grounds but on wealth and empire..Meanwhile the actual Elephantmen are hard to like
I bought a bunch of Elephantmen collections from Comixology a while back, when they had them on sale cheap. I decided to start reading them today. I knew that volume 0 might not be the best place to start, but it seemed like the simplest. This series takes place during an epic war. I assume the main Elephantmen series takes place after that war. So, anyway, this is a pretty violent and bloody series. But there's a definite anti-war theme that carries through it. There are a lot of allusions/refe...
Of the three volumes of Elephantmen that I have read, this is may favorite. This comes with the caveat that it would not have been as good if I had not previously read volumes 1 and 2.This tells much of the story of the war between the Elephantmen and the remaining plague ravaged citizens of France. In this, the Elephantmen are the bad guys (though they are more or less brainwashed). What is remarkable is how clearly the book portrays them as monsters but doesn't take away all of their humanity....
En el siglo XXIII, una megacorporación africana crea híbridos semihumanos con características de animales salvajes para luego utilizarlos como supersoldados en la invasión de Europa.Quizás no debería haber leído esto lo primero ya que es muy posterior a los primeros números de la colección de elephantmen, en la que seguimos las aventuras de algunos de estos híbridos que intentan integrarse en la civilización humana, en todo caso tampoco es que haga daño conocer la historia desde el principio, pe...
Not bad, but definitely not as good as the first volume. The theme of "war is hell" is driven home, as always, though not nearly as elegantly as in the post-war volumes. Yvette isn't nearly as interesting, sadly, as Hip, Obadiah, or Ebony, and I found myself hoping to see more of the others instead.
