Black Orchid
by Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean
I was drawn to this after looking through the TPBs at a local comic book shop. It’s absolutely gorgeous. My experience with Dave McKean before has just been the covers for Sandman, which are pretty different. My attraction to his art was 95% of the reason I read this.
The first issue was intriguing. There are these plant women that are kind of superhero-y. Some dude made them. They are kind of the same woman but not.
The driving force of the second and third issues was the “who am I” syndrome and it got a little repetitive. I wanted her to do cool things. But it is still gorgeous so I read on. The underwhelmingness of the story is what gets the three stars. I recommend flipping through it, though.
