Rachel Rising

review 1: A spooky tale of possession and murder from writer and artist Terry Moore. There's a lot to like in "Rachel Rising": his black-and-white art is beautiful, as always, and he shows a nice touch for dialogue and dark humor. The friendships here are really well captured, and I liked spending time in our leads' snappy presence.But the plotting just didn't do it for me. It seems like our characters are resurrecting some mystical feud sparked by a Crucible-era witches' graveyard. A lot of the plotting here has ordinary characters taken over by mystical powers that force them to do horrible things. From my standpoint, that removes any sense of agency or motivation from their actions and makes them far less interesting, horrific as they are.The haunted setting is pretty familiar an... mored something that B.P.R.D. does far better, in my opinion. ("Revival" has tread this ground too, for ok effect.) Moore can be pretty blatant in dropping his bad guys into the plot too: check out one foster dad who reveals himself as Chester the Molester within seconds of meeting his latest charge.This is the third Moore series I've read, and with each I've been impressed with his skill but underwhelmed with his storytelling. There's a like to admire in his approach, but I have to admit it's just not for me.
review 2: Había conocido a Terry Moore por sus dibujos, por dibujar mujeres "reales", de las que tienen pliegues en la barriga cuando se sientan, con variedad de cuerpos y rostros muy lejos de la combinación cintura de avispa-pechos voluptuosos. Es un dibujante que me encantaría que me retratara, de podérmelo permitir.Y, finalmente, decidí conocer sus historias. En Rachel Rising, Terry Moore no sólo saca a relucir su creatividad dibujando cuerpos, sino personajes con mucha alma (Rachel, Jet, la tía Johnny...) y una fantástica historia inspirada en las Brujas de Salem, llena de momentos inquietantes y que te mantiene en vilo en cada página. ¡No puedo esperar al siguiente!ENGLISH TRANSLATION:I've known Terry Moore's drawings and I knew he was famous for drawing "real women", women whose bellies folded in sitting position, women with a wide variety of bodies and faces, far away from the unreal mixture of tiny waists and big breasts. Should I afford it, I'd love him to picture me someday.Finally, I decided to read his stories. In Rachel Rising, Terry Moore not only shows his creativity when drawing people, but the personality of these people as well (such as Rachel, Jet, Aunt Johnny...). He also creates a wonderful, horror story based in Salem's witches and witch-hunts, full of disturbing moments and keeps you on tenterhooks page by page. I can't wait for the next volume! less
