Black Sheep #1. This is the beginning of a new storyline and a new approach, really, for Fredo. There are two stories. One is well-rendered but I'm not exactly crazy about the ending. But "Neighborhood of the Beast" is fucking great. Visually this is Fredo's strongest representation of his talent that I have seen in print. It starts off strong and there is not a single panel that I can say isn't correct. What I really enjoy about this new
Black Sheep is Fredo's sense of pacing and the delivery of his story. There were hints of his storytelling ability in
Fellowship but I feel this is where it finally really emerges. I am very interested to see the progression of this story — you have a chance to see it in the beginning.
I should mention that the cover alone is worth the four bucks. A wraparound hand-printed 4-color silkscreen. The cover as just a print would look beautiful framed.
