OK, who wiped the threads?????????
Just read it. The story captures the EE spirit well (the potted history is OK, too.) The artwork is utter rubbish, IMHO. Sworn, bloody! Xetal |

My copies are still on their way here in Germany (I ordered both covers to help sales)... I believe that Evil Ernie needs an artist that is able to depict horror and comedy at the same time...
Best examples: Ian Churchill, Ivan Reis, The guy who did The Horror (I remember the cover looked amazing) |

I'm not touching this w/ a bargepole. Once again, after all the so-called "promises" of not disappointing the fans, out comes some scribbled rubbish w/ Purgatori w/ red irises. Does nobody CARE enough to vet the art? or supply reference images? For fk's sake, how many times has Purgatori been shown w/ irises? what was that guy working from? does he have ANY interest at all in painting the characters or just in splatting anything down on papaer to get his paycheck?
christ, i've lost track of how many times i went through all this w/ Chaos, now we're going to get it all again. nothing has changed. KW //\oo/\\ |

You'll see when you get the comic. There's a non-action pic or two of other characters, including Purgatori. They're even cr@ppier than the portrayal/betrayal of Evil Ernie.

My review:
The story was quite enjoyable, I like the idea that Evil Ernie is surching for love (I don't think that he needs to have a Lady Death replacement, just surching for the right person would be good enough for me). The art leaves a whole lot to be desired with all due respect... Still I was expecting worse, next are 4 comments I would like to let out in general: a)The Purgatory & Chastity page at the end was very nice in my opinion b)Evil is back in September and no artist was mentioned just Alan Grant as a writer c)I would love for Evil to be a smarter guy and would have the ability to change his shape to a normal human (secret identity not needed here, just live a normal life and then turn into EE and kill people has he sees fit) |

Yes, the story captured him quite well, though I'd have liked longer to build up to the self-sacrifice at the end. Still, that's the one-shot crossover for you.....
 Like Doctor Fairchild and Mister Earnest, you mean? It's been done before, but it might be better than the vigilantism Brian seemed to be starting him on when he brought him back at Chaos!. I must admit I prefer a full-time undead teenage psycho,even if the best mileage has probably already been got from the character. Sworn, bloody! Xetal |

I believe Batman and Superman with close to 100 years existance and maybe 100 000 comics each tend to have their best mileage behind them. Evile Ernie on the other hand has at the most 40 issues... My opinion is that we did not even start to break the ice and Evil Ernie can become the next icon of modern day (Frankenstein, Dracula and others)... the best advantage that Evil Ernie has is that he is dead so time will change but there will always be a place for Evil Ernie.
(What I mean is when Superman never ages, it is strange to see him still working and having internet... where you know if you pick-up an issue from the 70's he still looks the same and was working with a typewriter) Besides, I will not rest till I see a x-over with the Darkness, can you imagine (Darklings vs EE's undead) |

Hey fiends. I haven't seen the H/S/EE yet, but your disappointment doesn't make me really want to now.
We had contacted Joe at Chaos! about possibly working with Purgatori- mainly re-releasing the Purgi soundtrack with a new Alex Ross cover, but also about a possible crossover with the G.R.A.V.E. GRRRLS. Ken & I would LOVE to give her the treatment she deserves... Never heard back from Joe, and that was over two months ago so I guess he isn't interested. A real shame, as you all know my love for the red goddess. But hey, we do have some good news- you can check out the goriest comic EVER on June 22nd- just a week and a half from now- when G.R.A.V.E. GRRRLS ISSUE TWO devours comic stands. Ya gotta see this one to believe it. Sworn and Reborn- Vlad |

never replied to me either when i mentioned it. Dunno why, i'd've thought an Alex Ross painting on a product would've been a real score. dunno if she'd fit too well into the GG universe tho, personally speaking. Zombies and stuff, that's more EE territory.

Wolf:
GG isn't a zombie book. The first mini series dealt with zombies, the second involves a clan of werewolves and the third has the Grrrls up against vampires. The Grrrls are basically covert government agents that deal with things normal agencies can't. Think of it in terms of the X-Files- different nasties each episode (or series). If Joe reads this board, I hope he will contact us. If they're not interested that's cool, but we'd really appreciate a response either way. G.R.A.V.E.

Cool, my bad. in that case, Purgatori could very well make an interesting cross-over. at least w/ you on board we can expct her to be treat w/ a bit respect. can't imagine Alex would be painting her w/ red eyes, or pointy ears, or any of the other sht that certain people have done in the past.
w/ the lack of (positive) feedback on EE tho, i'm wondering how that might affect ToW's future plans. have to see if the figures make further ventures a viable gamble i guess. KW //\oo/\\ |

Just to throw in my 2 cents and keep the boards on life support. I liked the Hack Slash EE xover when I read it but then I was glad to see someone from the Chaos! realm back in action so to speak. Yah the artwork was pretty blah IMO but I liked the story I didnt think hhe Pic of Purgi and Chaz was all that bat not great but I could tell who they were.
