WRENCHIES GN

(W/A) Farel Dalrymple

Meet the Wrenchies. They're strong, powerful, and if you cross them, things will quickly go very badly for you. Only one thing scares them-growing up. Anyone who survives to be an adult lives in constant fear of the Shadowsmen. All the teenagers who come into contact with them turn into twisted, nightmarish monsters whose minds are lost forever.

It was a tough choice this week with both Prophet: Strikefile and this coming out, but I gotta go with the genius that is Mr. Dalrymple. A prophet veteran himself, Farel is one of the most unique, odd, talented and down right brilliant creators working in comics today and Wrenchies is 300 pages worth of proof for anyone who doubts this hyperbole. Soft spoken and unassuming, Farel has the spirit of a true comix barbarian with the mind of a space-ghetto born Miyazaki who crafts stories that have reduced me to tears in just a few pages. Do yourself a favor and splurge on what will surely be one of the best graphic novels to come out in 2014!!

DELUSIONAL

(W/A) Farel Dalrymple

Delusional is a book of comics and drawings by cartoonist Farel Dalrymple. You might have seen them in various anthologies, or posted on the internets, but now they are collected into one beautiful tome. Farel's previous work includes Pop Gun War, Omega the Unknown, and the occasional Prophet.

If you happen to come upon Farel at a convention, he usually looks a little out of place with his suit, nicely combed hair and glasses, almost like a professor of some nature ready to drop crazy comic book knowledge bombs on the unsuspecting passersby. Intrigued, you step closer and look at the pages spread out on the table and then you hear a hissing noise like the slow release of air through a small hole which you slowly realize is your brain being depressurized by the sheer depth of Farel's art. He perfectly straddles the hyper detailed obsessiveness of Moebius with the cartooning wit and charm of Charles Schultz if Schultz grew up in the slums of some off world colony light-years away.
