Dylan Dog 287 - The new barbarians [Review]

Screenplay: Roberto Recchioni
Drawings: Bruno Brindisi
Cover: Angelo Stano

SPOILER

Recchioni Robert is an author rather than loved by the public. His blog is a lot of interest and even managed to carve out some space in the record, mainly due to his previous work on Dylan Dog, Mater Morbi that touched on universal themes that fought and how the disease and euthanasia.
Personally, I found myself often in agreement with him, but at the authorial I've always found it more clever than good. The quality of his work is high, but often I've found in some of his work is a collage of situations taken from movies and comic books that got to do relatively little with what he was writing.
My diagnosis is this: Recchioni nerdica is suffering from bulimia. Law
all seen tons of movies and TV series and then puking, trying to give his signature to what he saw. Sometimes we succeed and sometimes not. Hey, these things happen!

on Dylan Dog I would say that it has always done well. I like his character and management of riprosizione dylan issues filtered through his personal vision of things. Here, here we find a signature, a personal style that comes in a big way, but never overbearing, in view of Dylan Dog.

The story of the month is just that. He manages to combine a course at the Dylan Dog with his personal taste for a certain type of situations. And of course, love for girls and vaguely evil "peasant" as the girl of the month, a sort of Suicide Girl with piercing, tattoos and a skirt that says "we both know that below may or may not be panties. "

Bravo also to Brindisi, which has certainly caught the spirit of the character.
That is, is hot.
Wait for me now resumed, eh.

'It. A second

.

Ok, come on, I came back to me.
were saying ... the story of the month.

Groucho and Dylan absolute protagonists of a ridiculous story, a traffic jam that turns into a journey of pleasure surreal odyssey, where within a couple of days innocent travelers, old ladies who made the war and the babe above is become murderers and raiders and threaten to resort to cannibalism.
What's more, in the oncoming lane, pull a shark swims into the asphalt and threatens to eat up everything in its path (an idea that I found Fichissima). The jaws of the beast will eventually also a scene in Groucho that made me first turn up their nose (the usual reference to "Go, leave me here to die who would otherwise die both of them" that has seen thousands of times in films and comic books of all kinds ... then I would like to see how many times such a thing happens in real life ... I personally drag someone down with me so as not to die alone, but oh well), but that can come out of the quicksand of mediocrity with a mighty wink at reader (quote: "You'll see that I will manage it ... he gets his shoulder comic always good !"... Rrobe).

The Groucho Recchioni I liked a lot. Not the usual jokes ornament, is a character that moves at its own pace funny in an absurd situation, which form with the characters that you are actually very honorably (but very human) shitting below.
And I also liked Dylan. It is not the champion, the hero feel-good that we have seen (too) often in many previous issues, but an ordinary man who even admits that in his goodness would not know what to do in a situation of "your death, vita mea" (for example, the stinging of many Dylan albums ago he would say things like "killing is always wrong," and so on).
So, once again Rrobe guesses the management of the characters.

Perhaps the weak point is the story.
The first half is fast-paced and full of events. The beginning
I felt a sort of Mad Max pedestrian, with the survivors barricade themselves in shopping malls and robbers who take them by storm. Severed heads, improvised weapons, the emergence of groups of people linked only by the desire to survive and the emergence of "characters", the most charismatic and organized individuals who manage to hoard the trust of others. In this case we are talking about Grandma Cleaver, a slightly 'over the top (with an old tape and a knife, with a vaguely face-paint kiss) that I liked in its absurdity and his being at the bottom of the version of the classic little old lady on steroids cacacazzi suffocate you with the good old days.
After the shark-tir, Rrobe could really do anything, but instead of giving a further boost to the fantasy story, took place more grounded in reality, in the last thirty pages depicting the desperate exodus of a small group led by Dylan and Groucho trying to find in all ways the end of history. At this stage the story is flattened a bit 'and threatens to slow down a bit' too the unfolding of events. I admit to being a lover of fast-paced, comic strips that go flat out in every situation and are always ready to pull out the characters and situations to the point of absurdity, so my opinion is certainly influenced by personal taste. I have a little 'sorry self-imposed limit of 94 pages size Bonelli, in this case because the story would have benefited from the division into two numbers, with Dylan's journey stops in the middle in the first issue and ending in the second. The variety of situations to portray was immensely larger and certainly Recchioni could get the best out of himself (which, according to my personal taste, is synthesized in most situations the shark and pull-over pussy and in my opinion ... this development would not mind even Recchioni).

The finish is one that divides the mass. I liked it.
The immense, endless queue of cars is due to a cow standing in the middle of the road and an old driver of a hundred years ago (more or less) that it was unable to move. E 'surreal, absurd, does not have any sense and that is why I found it clever (after all, to do some' the philosopher from the pavement, highways and many traffic jams as many deadlocks in our lives are caused from "cows in the road"?).
The alternative would be to motivate all with the usual "Sumerian spectrum in the refrigerator", namely: a blood pact / a spirit that takes possession of the road-a ghost of a dead woman killed / the hand of the devil (maybe a bit here 'is, in that hint all'Hellcome Break) / Cagliostro.
Any of the above situations would have made me exclaim a "ah, oh well "half disappointment. fans of the explanations at all costs but would have preferred otherwise.
Obviously, in this way would have lost all sense of the story (ie, a surreal and violent situation arising from a triviality can easily be overcome: The cow in the middle of the road).

We are the weaknesses.
I really liked the action on British soil at the Roman legionary Pullo Gaius (perhaps, knowing Recchioni, could be a tribute, at least in name, Titus Pullo of the American series Rome), because in the end, adds nothing to the story and uses a "trick" (ie the classic "mapoiètuttounsogno") that do not I never liked. The purpose of
Pullo Gaius is to enter a debate about civilization as "a giant with feet of clay", which is too easily destroyed by human barbarism (the new barbarians of the title are thus placed in parallel with the old barbarians addressed Romans). It can be done, not a fault so great, but I would have kept out of this speech. It seemed too easy and obvious parallels. There was no real need for this discussion.

A couple of elements of the story did not convince me fully:

1) Dylan says explicitly that between London and Brighton are only 50 miles. The hellish traffic jam as they remain trapped is 49 miles from their middle (as the sign says on page 10) and then, if the mathematics of elementary serves me at the last moment, our find themselves stuck at just 1 miles from London. Why decide to go ahead and get to Brighton? They could not simply go back ...?

2) This is a bit 'bullshit, but sometimes my brain focuses more on the fly to the side of the page in the book I am reading.
In the final pages is the exodus of the survivors who walk the rest of the day and night.
Now it is summer, it's a hot Executioner, probably the asphalt during the day reaches a high temperature would be more comfortable ... travel at night?

have stretch marks on the thighs of the classic ultra hot, but since I have seen them carry.

The comics are usually chock Recchioni of quotations, in this case I believe I have found only two: The

-Pullo Gaius which I have already talked about (but I could be wrong).
-The presence of Cleon and one of the Baseball Furies (two characters from the movie The Warriors on page 64 (but here I do not know if the quote is due to Recchioni or Brindisi).

If you have found other, let me know.

We miss you and this pain seems to go away.
Mai. Our age has no concept of death.
This pain seems to be less real, less real than even two years ago.
I would try to write what I feel if only I was sure to prove something.
Are you there, somewhere you're there. Again.

Dylan Dog 286 - rehabilitation programs [Review]



Hello kind readers!
I promised you a return on this blog and finally here I am again.
I've been quite busy with university and girls (both fortunately things are going well it seems) so excuse me if I did not hear, but obviously I had nothing better to do!
But now I'm here to torture your eyes with the review of '(yet another shovelful of earth on the coffin of a famous cartoon character represented by') last comic book Dylan Dog.

Oh well.
Rieduchiamoci va '.

Screenplay: Giuseppe De Nardo
Drawings: Peter Dall'Agnol
Cover: Angelo Stano

START SPOILER

'm not a big fan of De Nardo, I admit. Rarely do his stories left me something very important to me that would make her remember with the passing of time.
I do not know well the why, but he can never satisfy me.

Again, I do not think I have read nothing in particular. The subject is a bit 'abused and the basic idea is derived from countless other products (by the way: I found despicable any combination with Clockwork Orange, especially considering that the book is ten thousand times more profound and complex than this book).
We understand all too soon and the performance (at least in the beginning) originates from a coincidence that Dylan meets an old criminal who proceeded to beat up in jail when he was still wearing his uniform.
There may be, do not say no, but it is quite difficult:

1) Dylan encounters a case for a guy who stopped a long time and be able to recognize it despite the obvious physical changes.
2) The guy in question is embroiled in a super-secret program (but super-secret of that '? To do Dylan enter without problems!) Which aims the rehabilitation of criminals and bla bla.

In short, the story is not born under a lucky star.
For the rest it seemed that Dylan was accompanied by a bit 'too happy to be around for a workshop in which a few should have access and which would soon be something fishy happened (and the one who commits the sinister fact is precisely what which manages the laboratory), the classic villains that are given in the foot. The screenplay
overall I found it very heavy at the beginning. Despite a good rhythm, things happen but they never leave a deep impression in the reader, you find yourself turning the pages without having in mind what is happening.
I felt the lack of a track to follow a well-defined path in which to move Dylan and, therefore, the reader. It 's a story that is presented as a thriller (a term that was added in horror Post a free rather than the adjective "psychological", but in reality is closer to science fiction to psychological thriller and that he has no nothing), but that does not behave like a good thriller: it leaves the reader at the mercy of events.
Things happen and in the meantime, Dylan is consumed by unrequited love for this Eleanor (one of the most unbearable that I have ever read in a comic book) that will prove to be a classic psychopath with the trauma behind them.
Groucho and the remainder are Bloch Groucho and Bloch and at the end of the story is, as usual, the unexpected (Ah) twist accompanied by spiegone.
Nothing new under the sun.

From the point of view of the drawings, for me the new style of Dall'Agnol is a crazy shit. (Cited)
(92 minutes of applause)
Once Dall'Agnol knew how to draw, then decided that he did not want to do it and started to copy Stano, at the same time managing to be even more ugly (yes, Stano I never liked). Art
Paladins have obviously enjoyed the ugliness of the stretch of Dall'Agnol (approaching from time to time to Piccatti (?) And the aforementioned Stan), but I did only get a headache.

Now, I do not know anything about design. Seriously, I'm not kidding and I'm not doing the mock humility: I am profoundly ignorant in the field of design.
But I am quite convinced that the main purpose of the drawing within a comic is to make understandable what is going on? Am I right?
Perfect. The designs of this book are incomprehensible.
Characters that change size and shape, strangely elongated faces, backgrounds, or just totally missing sketchy, pictures without the slightest detail, the interiors of homes with indecipherable objects stacked everywhere in bulk, characters that change the face within a couple of pages.
Just for one thing: the person who stops Dylan at the beginning of the story (among other things, he finds himself in front of the store by chance, well then add another voice to the two coincidences start to roll I said before ) is the same one who accompanied him to the lab and then that will ultimately be owned by the bad guys. I had not understood. I swear that I had not realized it was the same person! I was able to understand only because I noticed that both characters are named John.

So: you can back up at any time the superiority of a stretch than the one sought, shall we say, more commercial and appreciate the search for a new style made by Dall'Agnol, but if I, comics reader, I can not understand that two characters are actually just a character, then the designer has failed across the board.
This is my thought. Marry her or send him to fuck off.

END SPOILER

screenplay Rating: 2 / 5

Rating drawings: 1 / 5

In essence, with different designs of this book may also come to the sufficiency, but the union of "sight and magazine writer without teeth" with "no signs of logical sense on paper" can only produce results in a very serious shortcoming.

Dall'Agnol is good, but does not apply.
