Acquire Enigma Authored By Peter Milligan Contained In Version
Smith's boring life is going nowhere when characters from a comic book from his childhood start appearing in the real world.
. .
I've got about half of Peter Milligan's run on Shade in long boxes in the basement and Enigma has been on my radar for years so I snapped it up at a convention not long ago for the princely sum of five bucks.
Enigma came out during Vertigo's early days so it has that WTF feel a lot of early Vertigo books have at first.
On some level, Enigma is a deconstruction of the super hero genre, an examination of what an omnipotent being might do if he was isolated and alone for most of his life.
It's also a story about human sexuality, about breaking out of your comfort zone, It's also about flying lizards,
The Enigma is a super hero from Michael Smith's favorite comic book from his childhood.
When the Enigma and other characters from his stories start appearing all over town, Michael goes looking for the creator of Enigma to find out what's what.
Peter Milligan has always written some intelligent, crazy, twisted shit and Enigma is more of the same.
This is one crazy book that takes the super hero concept in strange new directions, When an omnipotent being spends a couple decades living in a well by himself, how else is he going to act
My only real gripe with the book is that Duncan Fegredo's is a little cluttered and a little too muddy.
It still gets the job done, though, His Enigma is creepy as hell at times and his style is grounded in reality, as befits the story.
With Enigma, Peter Milligan stretches the super hero concept about as far as it can go.
Four out of five flying lizards, Velice zvláštní, velice silný komiks, Je s podivem, že něco takového mohlo vyjít u velkého vydavatele sitelinkVertigo.
Z knihy je velmi silně cítit doba jejího vzniku a není to vůbec na škodu.
Úplně cítíte ty časy, kdy sitelinkAlan Moore svými sitelinkStrážci navždy změnil svět grafických románů.
Enigma má se Strážci mnoho společného podvratný náhled na svět superhrdinů, komiksů, sexuální identitu, psychologizaci postav, nepředvídatelnost a další a přesto je jedinečná a originální.
Co stojí speciálně za zmínku, je grafické provedení kresba sitelinkDuncana Fegreda je místy až odpudivá, často nepřehledná, ale zároveň nesmírně přesně vystihující postavy, příběh a atmosféru.
Musel jsem si na to dlouho zvykat, ale je to to, co tenhle komiks potřeboval, Žádná americká mainstream sračka, ale drsný expresionismus, za který by se sitelinkEgon Shiele nemusel stydět.
sitelinkPeter Milligan byl pro mne velkou neznámou, ale teď jsem moc zvědavý na jeho trilogii sitelinkShade.
Prý to má být ještě lepší, než Enigma Perhaps best known as the scribe of the surreal allegorical series Shade, the Changing Man, Peter Milligan's masterpiece remains Enigma.
Mired in a tedious life of routine, Michael Smith inexplicably encounters his favorite childhood comic book hero, the formerlyD, fourcolor Enigma, now very much alive and in full color.
Teaming with the hero's comic creator, Smith obsessively attempts to uncover the secret behind Enigma's improbable existence.
After encountering an insanityinducing psychopath, a braineating serial killer, and a suicideinciting clown posse, Smith's discovers startling truths about himself and his hero.
Expertly rendered by Fegredo, the postmodern Enigma stands as one of the pinnacles of the medium.
Que pasaria si naciera un ser omnipotente que pydiera alterar la realidad y es abandonado en un aljibe Todo lo que conoce es obscuridad y lagartos, hasta que un día su mundo se despedaza y se encuentra con el mundo verdadero.
cómo actuaría una persona con estas características Al igual que Watchmen, Enigma nos plantea una historia en dónde los super heroes existen pero son todos la creación de este niño que fue abandonado en el aljibe.
Teniendo de hilo conductor a Enigma el comic indaga en temas como la homesxualidad, la identidad, los miedos, desconstruyendo el genero superheroico, dandole una interesante vuelta de tuerca.
Me duele en el alma no ponerleestrellas, pero esta vez sentí que el final desmerita un poco el crecimiento del personaje.
Digo, no creo que sea una ofensa o que esté mal escrito aunque sí me pareció algo apresurado, pero hay algo ahí que me hace ruido y no puedo ignorarlo.
En fin, lo importante es el trayecto y eso fue absolutamente excepcional, Es la tercera vez que lo leo y apenas me voy dando cuenta de cómo evoluciona el arte de trazos algo confusos a trazos más "sensatos" junto con el personaje principal.
Y
respecto a la historia pues qué puedo decir es de mis favoritas en toda la historia del cómic.
Combina a los superhéroes con la identidad sexual por no decir "cosas gays", además de que la prosa es muy hermosa y a momentos poética, así que me encanta por default.
Ah, a blast back from the days when Vertigo meant not only mature content, but also weird content.
this is very much both, although more on the weird side, A shortlived comic Enigma's characters have come to life in murderous and heroic form, and Michael Smith manages to be at the center of the mystery, even as it reveals his own inner secrets.
This book is noholdsbarred weird wait until you figure out who the narrator is, with all kinds of metatextual references and selfreferences.
The story does manage to hold together under the weight of its pretensions, although the art style occasionally makes it so muddy it's nearly unreadable.
Still it's a unique experience to read that I enjoyed more often than I didn't, and would recommend to people who are okay with the strange and unusual, and liberal lifestyles.
Al parecer, Enigma, el héroe de la infancia de Michael Smith, ha cobrado vida y ha salido de las páginas de un cómic.
Ahora, Michael siente el deseo irrefrenable de encontrarlo, una obsesión que amenaza con destruir el mundo.
ENIGMA, UN RELATO SOBRE OBSESIONES SEXUALES, LAGARTOS VOLADORES Y SUPERHÉROES i wasn't expecting this to be a heavy read, i was expecting it to be really good since it was highly recommended, but not that good or that deep, and i am pretty sure if i read it again i will discover a lot of things that i might have missed.
This is a beautiful story about Life , self , sexuality all written in a beautiful philosophical way in a setting filled with mystery.
I think it would be an insult calling this a super hero comic its much much more than that.
The story revolves mainly around a normal human our protagonist Michael Smith even though Enigma is the one who is making everything happen its still a story about Michael smith.
The super villains that were introduced here were amazing and mind provoking
Titus bird was a great supporting character as well.
Enigma was amazing such power to twist everything to his will but after the revelation i think of him as a villain actually not even anti hero he fucked up and he fucked up baaad
The origin story was amazing.
Everything will be revealed all the mystery will be explained in the last two chapters,
i was disappointed when everything fill down to be about homosexuality or so it seems but its not really maybe that's the finale about sexuality but we really explored many areas of life and self through out the novel and i am privileged to have read such a beautiful work lt.
