A nearly silent allegorical fable of man vs. nature that explores the medium's potential in a stunning, cinematic fashion. A lone figure in a diving suit drags an enormous wooden ark through the desert, scarring the earth with its deep furrow. A plane crashes. A zeppelin prowls the azure skies, its crew seduced by caged women, while Bedouins and soldiers clash under the blazing sun. This poetic tale entrances as it pulls all these elements and characters together into a haunting yet mesmerizing canvas.
It's hard to say if every comic book reader will enjoy this book, but if you're more interested in the art, the impressive nature of this visual medium and you enjoy stories outside of capes and tights; then more than likely you've been looking for a story like The Ark to experience. It has a European flair to it, but it's the perfect example of how powerful this medium is with its visuals. In a way this book is going to ask a lot of you while reading it and that's pretty great, actually. Read Full Review
