The Moon Street police station is to me what the hell is Satan.
In addition, it smells like shit.
Warren Ellis, " Fell. "
This is the sentence which begins with the second Fell volume, surely one of the most compelling reads of this year. A detective is a bit 'out of the ordinary in a city very unusual. To entice them to read, you carry excerpts from my review of Fell # 1 on LoSpazioBianco.it - \u200b\u200b http://www.lospaziobianco.it/3726
The English writer Warren Ellis back to the script splendor of his most famous work, that Transmetropolitan that led him to the forefront of the public. It shares with the great quality to have an original character as a protagonist, "bastard" to the right place, able with his charisma to win the player. Richard Fell, while not sharing anything with apparently Spider Jerusalem, has in common with the future journalists the fascination exerted on the player, resulting from their thoughts and their actions.
If the character of Richard Fell is not already more than enough to make this book worthy of note, the events in which Warren Ellis make it down this volume should not be missed. Stories so surreal to be true, the result of journalistic research documented at the end of the author. Where it comes to reality, the English writer uses his ability to rework key daily events in horror. The result is that the reader can no longer tell where the fiction begins where reality ends and , staying glued to the page.
division in individual, brief episodes proves to be a winning choice. As in fiction, in Fell is possible to distinguish two narrative lines: the rush of each episode, where the secondary becomes the main character in a short cycle of birth and death (narratively speaking), and the slower evolution of the main plot in ' entire volume, one that directly involves the protagonist Richard Fell.
A ' modern architecture, where each carrier is exhausted in the single roll, now adopted by a large number of comic books and has made the fortune of many American TV series of last generation, from CSI to Prison Break. It must be said that in the case of Fell, the discourse functions of the short story is an extreme, since the available space of the narrative is much more restricted (16 pages instead of the usual comics canon 22-24): the can be much better, but even more disastrous.
to underline the particular property " cage" of the table, where in some occasions we find nine vignettes. The choice is not only aesthetic but a double major narrative value. First Division of the page essential for the temporal dimension of the story: not only the player, depending on the sequence of the cartoons were seen as flow time in the story, but puts more emphasis on details that the author and artist wants to put in relief (great cartoons in the first floor), and left to drain more quickly sequences cartoons " identical" (in a manner very similar to that found in "Daredevil " of Bendis and Maleev ).
We could say that the structure is essential for time internal "and" external "of the story, namely that where the story takes place and when it is "perceived " as well as read, the reader.
The division of the table also serves to emphasize certain moments in history, as the picture becomes small and narrow, almost as if the characters " outpour off, the more the reader feels a sense of anxiety and fear of some situation , as if the reader himself to be imprisoned, forced to live the same situation.
Buy it, you will not regret. Since the beginning of 2007 the best money spent on a comic book.
