David Mazzuccelli...artist on Ultimates 3, and Batman: Year One.
An amazing artist throws his hat into creating a leviathan of a graphic-novel.
His effort? Asterios Polyp.
The outcome? The most discussed offering by any contemporary comics creator this year.
The review? A monstrosity of a tale about the duality of a single man completed by his forsaken but self-actualised other half...not his dead twin.
While the story is heartbreaking in it's delivery, so to speak, the art delivers more of the current of realization by Asterios as a whole. Even the utterly preposterous meteor strike ending Asterios' narrative makes a bit of sense, given his visualizations throughout the story.
Not for the everyday reader, by FAR! Give yourself over to this masterful piece of art.
