About this deal

On that note, the story structure is written really well especially on how the different casts of characters interact. At first glance I thought that the setting of Gideon Falls was kind of like most cities, a rural area and a more urban side. Plus I had a good time thinking up of a little game on trying to find where in the world Gideon Falls is on the world map. But then there comes the big twists and why news doesn't seem to travel as fast. A lot of things just fell into place; some things didn't get answered mind you, but I have a funny feeling they come up in Book 2. Lemire vuelve a retomar su gusto por los pueblos pequeños a la hora de situar sus tramas. En este caso, y teniendo en cuenta la temática y el tono, puede recordar mucho al gran Stephen King que siempre recurre a este tipo de entornos en sus novelas. Los dos tomos anteriores se han centrado en presentar personajes y empezar a colocar las primeras piezas de la trama de forma deliberadamente confusa para que no comprendamos del todo lo que está ocurriendo. Sin embargo, en este tercer volumen Lemire ya nos da muchas pistas de por donde van los tiros. Father Fred settles into life at Gideon Falls and holds his first mass. He meets most of his parishioners and the members of town, including the more unusual ones. Some pretty interesting artwork… The art is fantastic! Sorrentino’s gritty style suits this book perfectly! It sorta reminds me of a mix of Azaceta and Sean Phillips which is something I say with the highest compliments. An amazing artist!

Nun Too Holy: Downplayed with Father Fred. He has drinking and assault and adultery under his belt, but he's genuinely penintent for his sins and wants to leave them in the past. The remake obviously came after a shitload of other zombie movies, including a nonsensical Italian movie where people were teleporting and the ending seems to be just random scraps of film left over. So, the people who made that were smart and said, Hey, let's just skip the part where people are in disbelief and skeptical.

Writer

This is so much better when read in a bigger trade. I'm always a fan of Jeff Lemire, the illustrations by Sorrentino just happen to add to the surrealism of this situation. All by building off of a concept from Lemire in regards to obsessions. Because really, when hasn't anybody heard that everything in a person's life built up to a specific moment. Salvatore, Brian; Grover, Rowan (27 June 2018). "Lemire County #1: June 2018". Multiversity Comics.

It starts with this crazy dude who pokes around in garbage thinking he's finding clues to some secret of the universe stuff in the trash. His shrink thinks he's nuts. I move to a town where people say there's a Ghost Barn and a bunch of weird shit has happened and people see the Ghost Barn mysteriously appear and disappear. Reasonably, I'm skeptical, so a series of events must occur before I can get on board and get to the place where I'm like, "What are we going to do about this goddamn Ghost Bard?" Kind of a trippy story with a strong horror vibe, and I've got to admit, liked it more than I thought I would. As Lemire's bifurcated narratives develop and revolve around each other, he uses tropes from different genres to control the pace of the story and subvert audiences' expectations. Gideon Falls begins as a brooding gothic horror story and eventually evolves into a fast-paced science fiction romp. But even as the pace and style of the narrative shift, Lemire maintains a consistent and clear voice that keeps the story feeling grounded even in its most outlandish moments. So, when the horror is happening, I wish more characters would say, instead of, "It's all in your head," "If it's this important to you, then it's important to me, too."

Cover A

Issue #6: A signpost in the final panel shows that the city Norton and Dr. Xu live in is also Gideon Falls. Viñeta interior de Gideon Falls: Vía Crucis Andrea Sorrentino deslumbra con una narrativa llena de recursos Andrea Sorrentino’s art is surprisingly underwhelming given his usual quality work, though to be fair he’s not given anything very exciting to draw – lots of mundane everyday stuff for the most part. The visual spectacles are reserved for the batshit final chapter though when Sorrentino’s allowed to cut loose, drawing some remarkable, abstract stuff as the priest and some others venture into Lemire’s cut-price Upside Down.

One of the characters wears a dust mask and this probably seemed weird in 2018 but reading this post-Covid I almost didn’t notice. Overall, as the first Image Comics book i have read, this was awesome! Not much was revealed in this book but that is not going to stop me from reading the second issue. Great job to Lemire, Sorrentino and team. Cant wait to see where this story is heading. Overall, Gideon Falls is the perfect testament to the combined talents of Lemire & Sorrentino's ongoing partnership. Be kind to yourself and bump this to the top of your to-read pile. Another guy, clearly crazy, is going through the garbage around town, finding artifacts he thinks are linked to said Barn. His therapist thinks he needs to be hospitalized about this fantasy, this madness. Until the doc also thinks she sees that darned barn!Warning: Due to the disconnected narrative structure, it gets very hard to talk about the series past the first volume without spoiling major plot points. Spoilers for the first four volumes (through issue 16) may be unmarked. Proceed with caution. In a city called Gideon Falls a boy is rummaging through trash at the same time a priest comes into town as the newly appointed father of the church. How are their lives connected? is there even a connection? To find out read this book beautifully crafted by Jeff Lemire (author), Andrea Sorrentino (Artist), Dave Stewart (Colorist) and Steve Wands (Letterer & Design) I have never been a big horror fan myself, and that is mostly because I do not enjoy gore at all. I get no sort of excitement from gore — generally it just revolts me. But I do love more psychological, character-driven horror and films that can create a rich, underlying feeling of building dread. So in terms of influences, yes Twin Peaks is probably the biggest one. I am a massive fan of Twin Peaks and have been since it first aired in 1990. It made a huge impact on me and continues to. When I started Gideon Falls, Twin Peaks season three had not yet started to air, so while there was a lot of anticipation on my part; I had not yet seen it. A small town desperate for help, the inhabitants get more than they bargained for in Father Wilfred, or “Fred,” an “untethered” priest with a drinking problem who arrives into the town as an outsider. The city and rural polarity is working in multiple ways,” says Lemire. “First, in terms of pure aesthetics, the book contrasts the wide-open spaces and natural world of the small town with the dense and dirty world the big city.”
