Get Started On Wolves Written By Becky Cloonan Released As Paper Edition

Another moody and poetic Cloonan tale in the vein of The Mire, The art is beautiful, the story hits ya in the heart bone, . . It's good stuff. Read it if

you get a chance, Love the illustration as per usual but wasn't sure I really understood the story, Podéis ver la reseña completa aquí, sitelink blogspot. c Becky Cloonan is quickly becoming one of my favourite people in comics, Her name was one I had been familiar with for a long time but I hadn't really been introduced to much of her stuff, I STILL don't have that many Cloonan works notched off but I'm getting there, There was her historic issue of Batman in which Becky became the first woman to ever officially draw the Dark Knight, then there was The Mire, Demeter and now Wolves.


The thing that I love about Cloonan's art is that for me there's something really unique and distinct about what she does and yet she always makes it seem like it's exactly what should be on the page.
Of course, the works I have mentioned have all been her own creations, except for Batman, but it still remains true, Comics need fresh art to keep things interesting and exciting and Cloonan has to be one of my favourite female creators out there,

But back to Wolves, . .

This is a short story that focuses on, well, wolves, More specifically it focuses on werewolves,

I think the thing that really gets me with Wolves and even with my last Cloonan read, Demeter is the subtle way that the story is told.
You're given very few answers and that vagueness is a quality in these shorts, They stick with you and almost haunt you in a way as you try to work out all the twists and turns you've gone through in only a few pages.


Wolves follows a hunter who is tracking a beast that must be dispatched on behalf of the king, Hints of a forbidden love and some

Wolves was apparently original written for a Japanese anthology called Journeys back in, Cloonan redid the script for the English version and added some new stuff and the result was magnificent,

Everytime I read something of Cloonan's, it leaves me wanting more and more, As someone who doesn't like flashy horror, this kind of quiet spooky really appeals to me in every kind of way, I like stuff that makes me think and opens the table up to discussion among other friends, Stories open to interpretation are so much more creative and are books that I'm prone to read over and over again,

VERDICT:
This is a no brainer: Buy it, I think I summed up pretty well everything I could possibly say about Wolves, so just keep an eye out for the comic at your local comic book shop it would likely be in the convention zines section if your store has one or order it online from Becky's brand new store, which is appropriately called there Werehouse.
Beautiful Lo tuve que leer dos veces para tratar de entender ese final, y aún así este sigue siendo ambiguo y sorprendente a la vez,
Genial obra de Cloonan, hubiera deseado que sea más larga ya que la obra se lee de un sólo tiron, no obstante cumple con su propósito.
A cool short horror story, with a good narrative cadence, It's very mysterious and a second read is necessary to fully understand it and enjoy it, The cinematographic style is very interesting, The art is good: I enjoy this style but probably it won't be everybody's dish, . . Recommend it! Ένα μικρός, ζοφερό κόμικς που το ανακάλυψα από την φίλη μου Γκέλλυ. Δεν γίνονται πολλά εδώ, δεν προλαβαίνουν άλλωστε. Αλλά αποτελεί ένα σπιντάτο διάλειμμα για έναν αναγνώστη, κάτα το οποίο θα γνωρίσει έναν ενδιαφέροντα καλλιτέχνη.

Καλός φαίνεται τούτος ο Κλούναν, λοιπόν.
Very short, very bleak, slightly confusing, but lovely, Wolves is a moody supernatural fantasy that reads like a graphic poem than a straight story, Set in a time when people lived in castles and used swords on a daily basis, we meet our nameless narrator, naked and desperate, stumbling around in the woods.
He tells us his sad story of being sent to kill a monstrous wolf in the forest by a king whose wife he is having an affair with.
Somehow the two are connected as our narrator descends into a hellishly dark place from which he may never emerge,

The story isnt as straightforward as The Mire as it jumps around a bit and Becky Cloonan keeps vital information unspoken, That said, its by no means a tough story to follow and the ending has a quiet devastation all of its own, As with The Mire, the best part of this comic is Cloonans incredible art, Her expressive use of black and white, the swirling figures blending into the impossibly romantic scenery and the perfect use of panel progression to tell the albeit brief story all make reading this a treat for the eyes.


But even more simply, its gorgeous to look at, Wolves is a comic whose high quality of artwork you rarely see in comics as quite often artists are pushed to hit monthly deadlines, The benefit of Cloonan taking her time drawing this comic is this stunning artwork that I find myself looking at every moment I have some downtime, That scene with the werewolf

Its also dead cheap, A full length comic for a handful of pennies This is what digital comics should be instead what Marvel and DC charge which is,times this at least.
Wolves is a wonderful comic that readers of Mike Mignola and Dark Horse comics will especially respond to, More please, Becky! Visually beautiful, Romantic and tragic. it's a minicomic, so it's very short, and there are few words, the art is phenomenal, and becky's visual storytelling skills are sharper than wolves' teeth,

i wish i could give it five, but it left me wanting more words and more art, SERIOUSLY. KICKASS ART. : Beautiful and mysterious. I've never read anything by this author but I think I'll be reading more! This comic is for people that love Emily Carroll's storytelling, Cloonan and Carrolll have a similar style of writing, dark, mysterious, and inexplainable, The art however is quite different, particularly with Carroll's use of bright red and blue, in contrast to Cloonan's paler tones, Haber encontrado este comic me hizo sentir muchas cosas, en especial como van sucediendo los hechos, los recuerdos, las expresiones de los personajes y gracias al genial trabajo de Becky Cloonan, estoy sin palabras.

Quizás me hubiese gustado que fuese mas largo, pero tal vez no hubiese tenido ese encanto que tienen estas hojas, .
