Marcel has abandoned painting for the glamorous world of criticism. But a monster has returned to Paris with a Faustian offer he cannot refuse. Old wounds will be opened. New wounds will be formed with paintbrush and gun smoke.
The plot seems primed to kick off something huge, but even if it doesn't, I love this intimate period horror story. Read Full Review
Although the story has yet to properly take off it is undeniable that The Picture of Everything Else is the composition of many talents perfectly fit together. As I mentioned before, this comic will be a heck of a ride and I look forward to see just how far things will escalate. Read Full Review
A gripping issue that keeps you invested from the moment you start it to the moment that it is over. Read Full Review
The Pictures of Everything Else #2 successfully catapults the story in time and with great gusto. The writing is strong, the artistry is amazing, and the larger myth arc is shaping up to be a wonderfully wild ride that I hope keeps escalating. Read Full Review
This is a series that's going to spread things out a bit and definitely keep its focus on the characters. Marcel is definitely engaging to watch here as he navigates Paris at this point in time with all that's going on. I do like that his shift to art criticism isn't going easy for him – though Picasso takes it a lot further than he should – as it puts him in a different world for the moment. Watter's script is definitely really good here to make it fully realized, though I suspect reading the series in full will make it even better, and Mohan's artwork brings the time and people alive in a really great way, especially with its color palette.

The artwork and coloring is well done. Parts of the story are great as well. However, there are parts that feels crammed to me, where we have changing of scenes a bit much. Maybe I'll feel different about it if some of it is explored later. Overall, I feel like it is trying to push too many messages of being an artist at once. A certain famous artist pulling a gun on a critic twice? Seems a bit silly. I rated the first issue higher.
