Extremity Volume 1: Artist by Daniel Warren Johnson
5.0
I picked this up after seeing it appear on so many EOY lists. And I am glad I did.
It's harsh story about family and how to go on in the face of war and loss. In many ways it is a darker exploration of many of the same themes as Saga -- conflict, vengeance vs forgiveness, family, honor. What does it mean to be true to yourself? How do you go on when the best parts of you have been lost?
This is my first time reading Johnson's work, & I really enjoyed it. Artistically he is somewhat reminiscent of Paul Pope, and easily provides a depth and strangeness to this world.
Recommended, as long as you know it's a dark story of clan warfare.
