Trade ReviewLIBRARY JOURNAL -- Edwyn Stoffgruppen is a frighteningly unique individual. Maniacally driven to extreme responses directed toward those around him, whom he perceives as rude, vulgar, inconsiderate, or a threat-he has managed to carve a bloody, dysfunctional little niche for himself out of this cruel world. He's also found love along the way in the form of an inflatable blonde named Virginia. They are good for each other. She likes sharing doughnuts with him, and he stops putting people's heads in bags when she is around. It's a marriage made in polymer hell. Eclectic and prolific creator Wagner (
World of Warcraft;
The Ride) teams with the stylishly grim illustration abilities of Hillyard (
I.C.E.;
Sherwood Texas) to produce an indelibly horrific graphic novel. Martin's keen coloring sense perfectly welds this eye-searing love story into a cohesive continuity of twisted and depraved ghastliness.
Verdict Mature lovers of horror, grave tales, and quality artistic craftsmanship will read this book in one shivering sitting.-Russell Miller, Prescott P.L., AZ
