Extremity Volume 1: Artist by Daniel Warren Johnson
5.0
Wow Wow Wow! Loved this first volume. I mean with a tagline like "the beauty and imagination of Studio Ghibli meet the intensity of Mad Max" you can bet your biscuits I was immediately intrigued!
This book is hyper-violent and definitely not for the timid reader. However, despite all that violence and gore, there is a real heavy hitting storyline under it all. It centers around a fucked up family that has been brutalized by war and are out seeking vengeance for the wrongs committed to them and shedding as much blood as possible to make themselves feel better.
Only...nothing seems to ease their pain.
The world is a crazy cool steampunk/sci-fi-fantasy/samurai feeling setting with fiefdoms and islands that float in the sky. The art is fan-freaking-nominal and with just one volume I found myself completely engaged and sucked into the story caring about the people I was reading about and feeling their pain as they struggle to come to grips with the situations that they have found themselves.
Highly recommend this one! The whole series is only two volumes long (the series is already finished in floppies with volume 2 TPB coming out this May) so its a nice quick read and a great way to pass an hour or so!
