Best volume so far... with all the stop start, past, present storytelling this volume begins to tell a better bigger ongoing story. The Elephantmen man-animal hybrid super soldiers, now civilised by the United Nation look to live out their lives amongst the humans, who show a wide range of reactions to them from love through to complete disdain...Starkings holds nothing bag and looks at the possibility and reactions to inter species relationships! What Starkings does on top of the main storyline...
The world that Richard Starkings has created is just fun to dive into. The story alternates between, science fiction, mystery, and drama effortlessly
Great continuation on the story with this time a better focus as there is now a mysterious conspiracy going on and can't wait to continue the story in the next volume.
While they probably had to do it as it was published monthly, the constant need to remind people of what the elephantmen are is starting to grating.
Some incredible artwork on display here. I just wish the storytelling was a bit more "normal," rather than telling things in bits and pieces like this...
Alright, I've had it.In my review of a Elephantmen Vol. 2 I said that I had a limited tolerance for "Hot Dame", that tolerance has officially been surpassed.I'm going to go ahead and say it, Elephantmen is TRASHY, I don't know why I didn't see that sooner. Elephantmen fully embraces being Pulp and I can't take it anymore.Character criticism rundown:Hip Flask & Ebony Hide. Two "information agents" with two generic good-guy personalities that would be totally indistinguishable from one another exc...
Visuals are there and the story crawls along
The more I read this series the more I like it. It masks itself as a pulp sci-fi, but it creates disturbing philosophical problems. It will make you sick when you will see the small hypo-man removed from dead butchered human mother. It will make you confused when those hypo-men are brainwashed and pushed to murder people by manipulation of their brain. And you'll become even more confused when those Elephantmen are helping people they used to murder. Nikken is a monster, monster who was just fol...
Elephantment definitely is better and better the farther along it gets.The most noticeable thing about the issues in this volume is the new art direction. Changing from the computer coloured, more minimally lined art of Ladronn and Moritat, the 8 issues included in Vol. 3 of Elephantmen shows a markedly different style. More emphasis on traditional comic pencils and inking and colouring ranging from the pastel-ish, almost watercolour style of Marian Churchland to the straight up comic book styli...
collects issues #16-23. Found it a bit more disjointed than previous volumes, but still bloody brillaint. Nice 3 issues by Marian Churchland sandwiched in middle focussing on the women of Elephantmen. Still a must read title for me.
This one had the cover that drew me to the series. I'm liking it a little more...
I saw a copy of this book at my local half-price book and had to pick it up-- for multiple reasons. 1.) I had been in touch with someone a few years ago about possibly doing some music for a movie based on these graphic novels that Ridley Scott would direct. 2.) I hear about the storyline and premise and though it darkly interesting. 3.) Half Price- gotta check it out. I was duly impressed by the artwork and the detail in the creation of the artwork. I think it is grotesque and beautiful all in
Volume 3 collects issues 16-23 of the ongoing Elephantmen series in another beautiful and weighty book. Most of the issues stand alone with some very slow building longer plots in the background. Very slow, as we're now at issue 23 and still not a huge amount has happened to get where we are. But, that's maybe not quite the point as the journey and execution are great. The characters entertain, the art is for the most part pretty impressive and the design is stunning. By the end of this collecti...
I borrowed this from the library and even though it was the 3rd book and I'd not read the 2nd one I decided to read it anyway. It continues to be a wonderful series. The art and stories are just beautiful. I just want to buy all these books.
What book on the stands is like this one?Truly stands on its own.If only more succesful and long running comics could be this unique.
verything I love about comics (great writing, gorgeous artwork, complex metaphors, a greater sociological commentary, humor, dynamic characters). I've found my series, and it maintains it's excellence throughout.
Maybe 3 and 1/2 stars really. It's still pretty much the same, which is fine, but I'm not super enthused about where the story is going. It just seems kind of like going backwards.
After great first volume and the prequel (War Toys) this is another average book.The story is still appealing but there is so many characters and plots so I am wondering if it’s going to get better because it’s kind of distracting. Same goes with art and constant switching between the artists. I know it’s most likely on purpose but I am not a fan.The good thing is that i have volumes 4-6 already on my bookshelf otherwise the series would be somewhere near the bottom of my want-to-buy list.
Easily the best, most focused arc yet. The characters finally become deeper than they were, with nuance coming to light. Plus, the story takes a wild turn.
