Dial H, Vol. 1: Into You by China Miéville
4.0
Dial H is one weird comic book (in a very good way). It is a genre-bending tour de force that introduces many amazing concepts and ideas that only China Miéville could come up with. I started reading the book without knowing what it was about, and I think it made the experience even more thrilling.
I do not understand why people complain about the book's surrealism and non-linear plot - as it is in fact a very straight-forward, perfectly clear story that is very well told and beautifully drawn. The goofy hero characters give a nice comedic touch to the book, as well as a lot of originality.
The sad thing about all this is that DC Comics cancelled Dial H a long while ago. The second trade paperback is coming out this month, thank god!
