![]() ![]() ![]() It's amazing to look at and, right there, you've more than received your money's worth. There's so much going on in every single panel: individual leaves of plants push through ancient stone structures, hundreds of drops of water, even every single piece of dirty laundry in Nameless's shabby bedroom. It's easy to focus on all of the fine details and, if you simply did that, you'd come away a winner. Speaking of Burnham, his art is as exquisite as ever. It's a smart move it lets the reader's own mind fill in the blanks and the end result is probably something more suited to strike a nerve for each individual reader by allowing them to conjure it up themselves rather than focus on a fixed image from Burnham and Morrison. ![]() We get to see the edges of them, Nameless's narration coupled with glimpses that hint at the events rather than staring them in the face. "Nameless" #1 is billed as a horror comic and, while there are truly awful things that happen, Morrison and Burnham keep them on the periphery of the comic. ![]() In doing so, though, Morrison is keeping readers from having a chance to stop and catch their proverbial breath. Because of the sort of mission that Nameless is on, we're left with shifting scenery, abrupt and deliberate jumps from one location to the next. Readers are left to figure out what's going on and, while Nameless gives everyone enough to piece together the series of events, it's not a simple, gentle or hand-holding experience. As I said before, "Nameless" #1 has a slightly convoluted path. ![]()
