How The Whale Became is easily one of my favorite issues of any comic this year.  Taking a step back from the previous storyline, Carey focuses on a council of men who set about to persuade authors to write stories for them.  In this issue, Rudyard Kipling is their target. 

Giving a fantastic (let’s presume) fictional reason for the shift in tone during his career.  It’s a  well-told, beautifully drawn story.  In my review of issue four, I lamented the lack of creative paneling and art.  It is in full force here without seeming forced.  The layout, the muted colors, the pencils, they all work in harmony to give this story a very turn of the twentieth century feel.

Story: 5 - Excellent
Art: 4 - Very Good

Comments

  1. Nice. So my one good, one bad theory is holding true so far. :p

  2. I agree completely with your review.  This is excellent storytelling.

  3. Old Man Logan is Marvel Porn.  The Unwritten is book-porn for graduates with English degrees. 

  4. @Crippler – very funny. I look forward to this in trades.
