POETRY! Why don't they write comic copy like that anymore?<BR/><BR/>Holy crap at Caresse's dance! Behold the patented crotch jump! The dance that should not be danced! (Which I always thought was the Lambada, but still...)<BR/><BR/>So much greatness here--instead of doing CPR on the distressed victim, they pull out the heaters to make sure he STAYS dead! And the patois here is great--"What are you beatin' your gums about?" "Make with the news!" "I'll send you to a nice upholstered rest home!" That's solid, Johnson!<BR/><BR/>I see what t.x. means about Caresse defying the laws of physics...esp. on pg. 4! Boy, when she gets thrown out of a trance, she REALLY gets thrown!<BR/><BR/>I love the winged snake (how'd they rig that dingus, anyway?) and the giant timpani she dances on. But choosing between that club and a place named "Batso's Belfrey," I'm not sure which I'd be drinking at!<BR/><BR/>I do find it strange that they go to such lengths to educate the reader on voodoo lore, but then fail to explain the difference between a "jumbee" and a "zombie," which seems to be significant. Still, how can you fault a girl who spouts lines like "It is my fault that the undead paces the silent streets of the city!" You said a mouthful, sister!<BR/><BR/>Crazy, daddio!
