Primarily, I am not a fan of novels turned comics. I feel like they’re long, drawn out, and they generally lose my interest by the time the book is half way finished. In this fashion, I thought that I Am Legend made a great comic because it was a short enough story that it was capable of fitting into a small book. This information aside, when reading a blurb about Freak’s Amour by Tom DeHaven and produced by Dark Horse, I literally couldn’t stop myself from picking it up. Some of the human race stricken with radiation poisoning in a functioning world? Rape Bars? Mutated goldfish eggs being the best drug on the market? Count. Me. In.  

More and more through out the comic community we have seen musicians veering their talents towards a different outlet. Out of our stereos and into our hands have fallen some great names in music and hopefully soon to be big names in books. There has been a vast production of these books as of late. However, what most haven’t realized is that this trend has been going on for awhile.

Guillermo Del Torro is a genius and this film is going to pay testament to this statement.

Check out the newest clip here.
