Bibliophilia: Multiple Warheads (Book One, Alphabet to Infinity) – Brandon Graham

Multiple Warheads (Book One, Alphabet to Infinity) – Brandon Graham

If Moebius was feeling particularly punny, took 500 micrograms of LSD, and drew manga with some porny elements set in an alternate universe Soviet Union hinterland. Not sure how else to describe it. Each page has lots of elements to look at, and they’re lots of fun to look at. But the story was so convoluted and lacking cohesion that I stopped reading after about 50 pages and just flipped through the rest, enjoying the imaginative world building and densely packed visual elements. Maybe not fair of me to judge it solely on appearance, but the story just went nowhere.
