X'ed Out Trilogy

review 1: Charles Burns is a genius. _Black Hole_ ranks highly on my list of favorite comics. Apparently, I got a bit turned around as I just read this volume because Liesel gave it to me for Christmas without reading the first volume _Xed Out_. Still, Burns is amazing in his merging of story lines, fantasy and reality, creepy and sweet. If anything captures the spirit of a nightmare, which is more complex than being simply horrific, it's this volume.
review 2: Like a good horror film or the step-child of a David Lynch film, the second volume of the "Tintin trilogy" (not sure that it's the official name, but too many small tributes in the series not to call it that...) is quite intriguing, like all of Burns' oeuvre. It reminds me a bit of Black Hole and, while the intern... moreal logic is not completely apparent so far, what we've read so far is strong enough to make sure I'll be putting down my cash when the next volume (Sugar Skulls) comes out. less
