A love letter to life, purpose, and heavy fuckin' metal.
Murder Falcon is fantastic. The sheer action and love for metal is…heavy….
DDubs has made some of my favourite trades.
*A stand user?*
As a guitarist since my youth, this book really spoke to me about why I am into and love music. It also is relevant to me as I approach 30 and get older. This is like the coming of mid-life age bible for musicians, who are also comic book fans. It is a simple over-the-top story, with underlying depth about leaving past regrets behind and moving on while yelling into the void.
Daniel Warren Johnson's love of music and metal shines through on every page of this surprisingly heartfelt tale. The way Jake was able to rediscover himself through his music, with the help of his trusted pal Murder Falcon and the rest of his bandmates, was actually really touching. By the time you get to the final issue, as the world sings into back into the void with Jake, the book damn near had me in tears.
And I haven't even touched on all the bad ass kaiju fights, incredible monsters, and insane sound effects that cover almost every page and really make you know that this is a DWJ book to it's core. Highly recommended, particularly if you like metal.
