Twilight Children #1 $6.00 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Gilbert Hernandez (A) Darwyn Cooke For the first time ever, legendary comics creators Gilbert Hernandez (Love and Rockets) and Darwyn Cooke (DC: THE NEW FRONTIER) have joined forces for a surreal project unlike anything you've ever read before! When a white orb washes up on the shore of a remote Latin American village, a group of children naturally poke at the strange object to see what it is. The orb explodes, leaving the children completely blind. And when a beautiful young woman who may be an alien is found wandering the seafront, she's taken in by the townspeople, but soon becomes a person of interest to a quirky pair of undercover CIA agents, and the target of affection for a young scientist. Can they come together to prevent an all-out alien invasion and save the souls in this sleepy, seaside town? Date Available: 10/14/2015
BONUS REVIEW by Shawn
The phrase "creators working at the top of their game" may be over-used but is totally applicable here. Hernandez and Cooke present the best comic of the week. I don't want to reveal a single thing about the book, so I'm not gonna. I will say that it reminded me of a Twin Peaks episode directed by Mario Bava. If that doesn't trip your trigger, I'm afraid we move in different circles. Highly Recommended. I give it 10 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
