When I starting fourth dimension heard nigh Our Friend Satan I was a lilliputian sceptical. The upcoming graphic novel, which follows a downtrodden Satan equally he attempts to plough his life to a greater extent than or less past times suing the Pope for defamation, seemed similar a difficult sell at first. After all, many creators get got tried to seat a novel spin on the Devil in addition to many get got fallen short; however, this projection currently beingness seat together past times a grouping of comic creators led past times Dominik L. Marzec looks similar it may good terminate upwards succeeding where thence many others get got failed. While the bailiwick thing is potentially inflammatory - exploring a footing where the Pope is something of an evil mastermind who has been spreading negative propaganda nigh Satan for many years - a quick glance at the seventeen page preview currently available on the book's website makes it abundantly clear that this storey is beingness told inwards a wholly tongue-in-cheek manner. Indeed, Our Friend Satan looks similar it could hold upwards a lot of fun, successfully adopting the same comedic techniques equally recent mainstream comics such equally Superior Foes of Spider-Man and Howard the Duck to non bad effect.
Additionally, judging from the aforementioned preview Marzec in addition to co. could good succeed inwards making Satan - dare I tell it - likeable?! Reading the starting fourth dimension few pages of this graphic novel left me fondly recalling a TV demo I used to scout made past times the CW, titled Reaper. For those unaware, the demo followed the adventures of immature slacker Sam Oliver who finds out on his 21st birthday that his parents sold his person to the devil. Sam thence is forced to teach a reaper, tracking downwardly escaped souls in addition to taking them dorsum to hell. What does all this get got to exercise alongside Our Friend Satan? Well, inwards Reaper the Devil is played past times Twin Peaks star Ray Wise inwards what is quite perchance the best surgery of his career. As incorrect equally it seems to tell this, Wise actually does select a for certain charisma in addition to sense of humor to Satan which does brand him strangely likeable. Reaper was sadly cancelled quite prematurely afterward exactly ii brusk seasons, but I encounter remnants of that fantastic demo inwards projects such equally this 1 which makes me optimistic that this mass could good terminate upwards beingness a gem.
It's clear that a non bad amount of travail in addition to passion has been channelled into the creation of this graphic novel, which is evident inwards the fascinatingly distorted footing that has been created wherein a sinister pope lives on a Vatican-themed infinite station, in addition to the Anti-Christ only wants to consume spaghetti in addition to scout the Federal Republic of Federal Republic of Germany game inwards his slippers. The artwork is also real impressive; the detailed pages seat together past times Marzec in addition to artists Lukas Lalko in addition to Michael Murawski are a process to await at, effectively creating comedic scenes whilst also beingness able to get got a to a greater extent than sinister direction when the narrative requires it.
Our Friend Satan is at the fourth dimension of writing reaching the terminate of it's Kickstarter campaign, in addition to has fortunately reached its goal. However, alongside iv days left to contribute yous may soundless desire to demo your back upwards for this projection if it sounds similar something you'd hold upwards interested in. The folks behind this mass get got a seat out of stretch goals that I'm for certain they'd honey to reach, including producing a hardcover edition in addition to fifty-fifty starting give a minute in addition to tertiary instalment inwards Satan's story. There are also a seat out of awesome rewards for contributors such equally T-Shirts, some (hilarious) posters, in addition to fifty-fifty the gamble to hold upwards drawn into the comic! The indie comics scene continues to grow from strength to strength, in addition to it's cheers to original ideas such equally Our Friend Satan that to a greater extent than in addition to to a greater extent than people are choosing to get got a gamble on smaller books. We'll hold upwards watching this championship real closely inwards the coming months, in addition to if yous similar fun (if slightly insane) comics, thence yous should exercise too!
