Thanks. MaGnUs, who apparently decided to write you many e-mails to day PS: Thanks for running the news. [OK, everyone figured out that 18PM is like 1800 in military time or 6:00 regular time, a bunch of bells in Navy time and for you comic geeks Mickey's little hand is on the 6 and his big hand is on the 12! But, they meant to say 24PM, I guess, which would mean Mickey has both hands up and is being read his rights. D.L.] +++++ Date: Wed, 04 May 2005 10:51:55 -0400 Subject: "MORTAL COILS Presents - Free Bodies" REVIEW From: Dreamchilde Press quantumcomic@hotmail.com "MORTAL COILS Presents - Free Bodies" Free Comic Book Day Comic Review If I learned one thing from this book, it's never to piss off a genie. This is A. David Lewis' offering for Free Comic Book Day, with 2 independent short stories written by Lewis, a "Finder" short by Carla Speed McNeil, and a "Hero Happy Hour" tale by Joshua Fialkov. Overall a pretty nice bang-for-the-buck which serves up macabre, magic and humor in one well-presented package. The "Mortal Coils" bits were pretty good overall. The first story, "Godpoint," was actually my least favorite. But I did enjoy the premise of the two women protagonists who could basically dream their way to various locations. We get to hear some pretty interesting observations on syphilis--among other things--from them, and Lewis sneaks in his affinity for Latin in typical "Mortal Coils" style. The things I didn't like in this story dealt mainly with some spelling and lettering errors. But there was a lot of information to cram into this 12-pager, and the art and sequential layouts were fairly effective. "Pit Stop" is the second Lewis installment and far more enjoyable a read for me. It follows the journey of Hopper, an up-and-coming mage, and Teiresia, a 3000 year old genie. As Hopper goes in search of a magical relic in--of all places--a rest area, Teiresia keeps herself occupied with one of her fellow rest- stoppers. I enjoyed both the art and dialogue of this piece, wonderfully rendered by Chris Srnka. One of Lewis' most effective tellings to date, I believe. Carla Speed McNeil's "Fetch" is up next, a wonderful tale of a local bookstore's resident lion and his quest for a decent bite to eat. This story is told with no dialogue, relying solely on iconic balloons, marvelous facial expressions and a probably unconscious nod to "Looney Toons." Using simple layouts, McNeil shows her mastery of sequential storytelling here. Rounding out the issue is a "Hero Happy Hour" tale entitled "I Didn't Know This Place Had a Cellar." The story is witty, irreverent, and fun, leading to a great punch line at the end. Scott Keating's art is simple but effective. All in all, this should be the indie treasure of Free Comic Book Day. The package design itself is first-rate with an eye-catching cover by Chris Moreno. I'd say there's something in here for everybody. Recommended!
