Now available in softcover! Here's what we said when the now out-of-print hardcover was released: "Wow! This is book has our vote for best original graphic novel ever published by Vertigo. Two years in the making, this work was born like a phoenix out of the ashes of Aronofsky's failed original attempt to make it as a film. Once Kent's pages started showing up at Darren's door, however, this resparked his imagination and orobouros-like inspired him to restart the film project, in a scaled down production. This led to a Mobius strip situation of the two projects being created simultaneously: the graphic novel based on the original uncompleted film script (which, upon hindsight, seems much more suited to the graphic novel format than film) and the new film inspired by the graphic novel. Kent Williams has really outdone himself here, producing a career high work that employs his full arsenal of techniques and stands to introduce many people to his stellar abilities. Aronofsky's script is a powerful allegorical tale about coming to terms with the death of a loved one -- and, ultimately, with death itself. Yes, this book is a bit pricey (not anymore, as this softcover edition is half the price of the hardcover!) but it's worth it . Recommended." And here's the trailer for the film.
