Supreme Blue Rose
"You are not dreaming. We are trying to communicate with you. Local reality has been reinstalled. Things have gone wrong. The revision has corrupted. Finding Ethan Crane is your supreme priority. Do not trust Darius Dax. We are all going to die." Supreme: Blue Rose re-introduces the central Image Comics character Supreme, in a multi-layered and often hallucinatory mystery presented by New York Times bestselling writer Warren Ellis and acclaimed new artist Tula Lotay in her astonishing graphic novel debut.

The art in Supreme: Blue Rose is gorgeous. Unfortunately, the story is... a bit lackluster. Ellis has a problem of trying to build these enormously complex and intricate plots, but they often lack any real substance until he gets where he is going. He definitely hasn't gotten where he wants to go in volume 1, so I just felt disconnected from what was going on. The narrative gave me no reason to really care about the characters, so the plot was what everything hinged on. All readers got, however, was a bunch of strange, esoteric suggestions. Alas. The art was really really pretty (so much that it bumped up the rating).
