I read the first three volumes of this at my local library before beginning to pick it up from comixology at this volume. Well!
I really like the art in this comic. The backgrounds are exceptional and the characters are emotive and distinct. And we finally get to see the macguffin! In person!
Note to future self: You enjoyed this, you laughed, and you found the skeleton assembling bit very cool.
Not enjoying the commercial I quickly skipped through that was just them chanting the name Jack Reacher as some sort of psychic attack.
Okay so this episode is about rural British people being godless pagans. Let’s do this.
Stage magic offends God, but probably for different reasons than you’re thinking. I mean, in general. I don’t know why in the show.
Luke? Gideon? Hannah? This is very biblical. BUT YET the pub is called THE GREEN MAN.
That’s symbolism, guys.
15 minutes in, only one death so far. But the night is young! Fortunately the cult activities just started. I have no idea if this is sensitive or not to actual British pagans on account of that Island being very weird.
Second show of the night that I would describe as having an ‘Oedipal hellscape’. That’s fun! Really! Oh god.
“This made you mad, of course”
“Of course it did. But that doesn’t mean I killed them”
– Hymn of the murder show
32 minutes in: SECOND DEATH! SECOND DEATH! And a jogger to discover it. Classic. This is why I don’t jog, there’s just way too many corpses out there to be found. Especially ritualistic killings.
55 minutes in: THIRD BODY THIRD BODY. The Oedipal Hellscape continues.
1:24 minutes in: Oh my god it’s the SAME Oedipal Hellscape.
Murderer type: Not Murder Wizard, but Murder MAGICIAN.
That was delightful.
Played the tutorial/first chapter to find out how the controls work this game and managed to only get shot once. I am delighted by how very spiteful that ghost was.
Trying to find all the fun things I can search on Rosangela’s phone and I still love the name Rosangela.
Oh god a serial killer episode. But then again, this is my first Maigret serial killer. I look forward to finding out how the French are all degenerates in this one.
I watch with subtitles on so I wish to share that the opening music was, according to them, ‘swanky’.
Music later on: “moves into nuanced, intriguing music”
Summarized interaction:
Maigret: You seem very upset. Do you want to go the bar?
Lady Cop: Oh no I don’t drink. Gimme a cigarette.
17 minutes in: Oh my god, the killer might be English! I hope his accent is perfect Parisian.
21 minutes in: Nevermind.
29 minutes in: My son couldn’t be a killer, look at this childhood photo *proceeds to show picture of absolutely evil looking child*
31 minutes in: okay it appears today’s French degeneracy is mouth-kissing your son.
41 minutes in: Cigs cigs cigs. I miss smoking and that is the dumbest possible emotion to have. Also an Oedipal hellscape in progress.
45 minutes in: Subtle, intense, orchestral music, say the subtitles.
This was MUCH better than a CSI serial killer episode. Nice. Nice.
A Lucy Lawless murder show! This hole was made for me!
Today’s episode of CSI is about gubbermint conspiracies and once again reminds me that as fun as CSI is to watch, it’s absolutely a stupid person’s idea of a clever mystery show.
So everyone is ACTING and they actually uttered the name Millander. Absolutely fucking cursed. Like screaming MacBeth in a theatre after wishing everyone good luck.
So Previously On CSI they’ve gotten so busy layering on the mysteries that the episodes run out of time and they just sort of standing around explaining the mystery summary style, then the episode ended. I thought they were gonna do it again this time but they’re actually using emotions in their voices.
This episode’s killer is a Slightly Inept Murder Wizard.
Oh neat though, John de Lancie is in this. James Callis is too and I’m amazed how one man can always look one second away from body-wracking sobs.
This episode is still stupid.
