Desolation Jones

Anyone else here read this? I picked up the first TPB and I am loving it. I’m only on the second issue but there’s a scene where they introduce a character named Emily Crowe and it did an emo smackdown on me. I got tears in my eyes from a comic book!

It doesn’t hurt that the art is excellent and the story awesome so far. It’s basically about …(spoilers but not very heavy ones)
Spoiler:
L.A. has become sort of like The Village in The Prisoner. Ex-agents have a choice of going there or death. A lot of them are fucked up from bio-experiments. For instance Emily was to be a pheromone sex pot to seduce enemy agents. Instead she exudes a repulsion pheromone making her utterly alone while Jones is the only one who can stand her because of his “gift”. Because their internment among us is secret they are immune to any legal consequences. So far it’s like a Sam Spade style noir story.


Highly recommended. Any comic with “Hitler porn” can’t be all bad. Oh and definitely not for kids. It’s not that outrageous but having some life experience helps one appreciate the story.

Warren Ellis = The MAN

Virtually everything Warren Ellis puts out is fabulous. He is one of the most creative minds to ever write for the comics industry.
