One of the best and most promising new comic artists out there today, Box Brown writes and draws theEverything Dieszine series as a hard (and oft-times hilarious) look into the religious myths of our world. Issue seven is a comic retelling of the pan-cultural flood myth. Here we see Sumerian wind god Enlil (a total badass jerk a laan evil pro-wrestler) setting out to destroy the newly-created people of the Earth. The Noah of this polytheistic ark story is King Ziasudra, and histrajectoryand fate are much different than the Christian Biblical version. Beautifully drawn and deep-packed with the things that make you go hmm, Everything Dieswill keep you reassessing who we are and what we've built our shared narrative from. This is one of the most rewarding titles you'll read all year. Massively, joyfully, fist-pumpingly recommended!
