Dylan Dog
Mater Morbi
[soon-to-be-uploaded cover]
I'm not sure what to say about this graphic novel. I love Dylan Dog very much, I've always loved him, even though there are stories that are more interesting than others and stories that you forget the moment you finish.
I guess it's the same for every comic.
It's very well drawn, that's for sure, above all in the flashbacks which aren't just black and white but have also a lot of nuances. There are some pictures that I could totally put on my walls.
The story is interesting and it stays on the subtle line between reality and fantasy, which is not something that happens always in Dylan Dog but is something I really like.
I couldn't really appreciate the main female character - Mater Morbi, who is represented like a very sexy woman scantily dressed in BDSM gear. The writer wanted her so, while the illustrator wanted her to appear sick (Mater Morbi is the Mother of all the diseases). The writer won and then he regretted it. It's not even her appereance alone... it's that she's cruel and sadistic, but no, she's like this just because she's alone because no one wants her but then Dylan accepts her (?) and she changes because Dylan has a healing cock (which, okay, it's common in the normal comics, too, but COME ON!), except not really because at the end there's a twist which isn't a twist at all, it's just a ????
Uh... I dunno. I read again what I just wrote and it looks like I hated when I didn't. I just... I think I'm disappointed, really. I love Dylan Dog and I really wanted this special version (I convinced my sister to buy it for my father's birthday) and it costed 17 € so... yeah. I guess I wanted something... more.
And there were way too many exclamation points. They were all very excited about what they were saying, I guess.
Quotes: "A sick man is a Vampire thirsty of life, and it doesn't matter how many tears are cried for him... they will never be enough to placate his thirst!" Dylan Dog (see? Exclamation point?)
