Collectors beware

So far every Humanoid book I have ordered through Amazon was received damaged. Every replacement came in damaged. The plastic cover on the book did not help the condition. Therefore, 2 stars.

But as for the story, you will not be disappointed. Not as good as The Incal for me but still a good prequel. For that, 4 stars (provided that I received the books undamaged).

Dark Dada Sci-Fi

Not for the PG-13 or even the R crowd. this is truly X-rated, in that there are a lot of extreme and shocking images thrown into the story. this is no surprise from the producer of Sacred Mountain and El Toro. If weird wild and visionary if Dadaist sci-fi is your thing, you'll never see or read better. Even at its high price, I am very glad I bought it.
