![]() ![]() Surprisingly, the story itself was the most consistent and in-depth aspect of this short, with Way and Simon, as mentioned before, doing a killer job with the script. INJ Culbard is still doing the art on this and it works well enough for the story at hand, but, as I mentioned earlier, hope he doesn't do anymore of these Tales. Way and Simon actually write a coherent and emotional story about the love between a mother and her daughter. I liked this even more than the Murder Magician one. Yes, the bonus stories are back! This one is an 8-page Klaus story set directly after the miniseries, and it is exclusive to hardcovers editions.īest UA short story yet. The best part of this was the bonus story. This library edition has a decent amount of extras including Culbard’s sketches and an afterword from Simon. INJ Culbard does a serviceable enough job on art duties and I’m cool with guest artists coming on for some Tales, but I hope Bá gets to draw a Five one eventually. The story itself is just okay since Way & Simon do what they do best: Throw tons of random shit at you, explain none of it, and cross their fingers it works for the readers and they care. It honestly might be worth it for show fans to check out just for the introduction by Sheehan. The dude is just Klaus toned down a bit, so it was nice seeing what the character genuinely means to him.Įven though this wasn’t as fun as I’d hoped it be, it was still a good enough time that I’d recommend to anyone who’s been enjoying the UA books. Speaking of Robert Sheehan, he does the introduction for this book and it is fucking amazing, but that shouldn’t be surprising to anyone. ![]() If I wasn’t reading all of Klaus’ dialogue in Robert Sheehan’s voice, I doubt I would’ve enjoyed this nearly as much, so just be aware of that going in. Now he may be out of line, but he is right on the money. The best art in this book are the chapter breaks by Bá himself, which just proves how much he is missed, even if Culbard and Lee Edwards have done good work on these Tales.Īlexander Perthans (go check out his reviews, they are great and way shorter than mine) made a great point in his review for this that Gerard Way & Shaun Simon, who wrote this mini together, put zero effort into writing Klaus at points since they tend to think he was cooler than he actually is. His sketches in the back are pretty interesting though. I thought INJ Culbard did a serviceable enough job, but that’s all it is at the end of the day. I didn’t enjoy this as much as I thought I was going to, but that definitely had to do with no Bá art on the book. Set 10ish years before Apocalypse Suite, Look Like Death follows Klaus as he heads to Hollywood to get involved with Hollywood Gods, Vampire monkey crime lords, and spider demons. ![]()
