by Brandon GrahamI wonder if it would be exhausting to hang out with Brandon Graham. The man crams so many ideas onto one single page of comics, it makes me wonder if he does the same thing when you talk to him.
Multiple Warheads: Alphabet to Infinity continues to tell two, so-far separate, stories. Sexica and Nikoli continue their road trip, driving up into some mountains. Along the way, they meet some death-obsessed druidz, survive an alligator attack, and hang out in a nice hotel.
While this is happening, the organ smuggler (her name escapes me) finds a few more clones of her target, and enjoys some noodles (in a Pol Pot, of course).
It becomes clear, while reading this, that the plot mostly exists to serve as the vehicle for Graham's next crazy idea, as he strings together strange sets and cute wordplay. The characters feel developed however, and the book chugs along very nicely under its own set of rules.
Graham's art is always beautiful, the lovechild of Geof Darrow and Moebius, and the comic is frequently very funny. Highly recommended.
