In the blink of an eye the whole world changed: Monsters stride the sky, ghouls run the
streets, humanity is doomed. One man
knows why, but finding the secret may destroy the remnants of humankind.
This is a delightfully bizarre reworking of the classic
Frankenstein mythos that has a fiendish and almost gleeful look at how hard
humanity works at its own destruction.
Part send up of horror movies, part classic Gothic horror, part brutally
violent murder fest, The Hidden is a
completely off the wall graphic novel that looks like a simply drawn demented
picture book about the gates of Hell opening on earth. It’s superbly and refreshing in its
unsentimental look at total annihilation.
Richard Sala has a totally inimitable style and this is maybe his best
and oddest work yet. It is a weirdly fun
and almost upbeat apocalyptic tale, because the forces of darkness are having
such gleeful fun at our demise. One of the most twisted and enjoyable looks at
the basic darkness behind the pursuit to master life and death you’ll read this
year in comic book form!
