review 1: I wasn't doubtful when I bought this omnibus .When someone don't know called Umberto Eco write (l can read Homer, the Bible and Dylan for days without being bored) you cannot say no to it, maybe later (like I did) but not no. You must buy one for yourself. I read the whole thing in two days and it was an endless thrill and heartfelt laughter from that Felix's (in some points I wished he was the main character but the chemistry between him and Dylan was priceless), but the disappointment was devastating because there was only seven stories in it, only seven? how come this guy who's called Umderto Eco say he could read it for days while I finished it two nights only? Later I found out the series is ongoing since 1986 and this omnibus was published for an American movie... more based on the series and by the same name. I wish dark horse could publish more collections of this series because it's a refreshing series and I want to know what happened between Dylan and his arch nemesis the devil himself, will he find love, will we see Felix tie the knot and what ridiculous chapters other writers added to it.
review 2: What to say about Dylan Dog, Nightmare Detective? The way things are arranged in this collection, it seems as though the writer started out with clear intentions: write noir stories about the supernatural and the detectives who, logically, are able to deal with it.However, those intentions seem to erode, and the stories through the collection get more and more surreal, until we're almost in Promethea/Alan Moore territory. The supernatural won't stay as cut and dried as "monster of the week." It just gets weird, and I liked it. less

This Italian comic is wonderful. At times it is serious, quirky and weird all on the same page.

like Marlowe combined with Holmes meets Romero combined with Lynch, and then some.

Mostly made me want to re-read "Hellblazer," alas. I miss John Constantine.
