A shocking tale of pent-up emotions and forced composure in the face of unspeakable horror…from one of the most celebrated writers in comics, Peter Milligan (X-Force, EnigmaShade the Changing Man, Hellblazer) and breakout horror artist Sally Cantirino (I Walk With Monsters, The Final Girls).

Collects the entire eight-issue series.

 

MY REVIEW

     I absolutely loved Human Remains and I devoured it in one sitting! The very first page had me so intrigued with the government notice. I enjoyed the narration style that let me get to know so many characters easily and discover how connected they all were in the end. The cast of characters was also very diverse (which I don't always see in graphic novels/comics) and had a lot of depth to their characterization (which isn't always easy to portray in a few text boxes per scene!). Human Remains also tackled many heavy topics-- so be sure to check the content warnings-- and explored humanity on a raw emotional level. The art was sooo amazing, colorful, and soft when you would least expect it in this horror story. One small art detail that stood out to me was the depiction of human bodies in this story, I loved how realistic they were depicted. This may be a horror story with monsters, but it is also a love story in many different ways, from romantic to self-love. Even the characters I wanted to hate made me love them in the end. Just like everything I have read from Vault Comics, Human Remains became an instant new favorite! 

About Peter Milligan:

Peter Milligan is a legendary British writer of comics, film, and television. One of Entertainment Weekly’s “it” writers of the early 2000s, Peter Milligan was at the forefront of the revolution in comics which were created for a more sophisticated, adult audience. 

Shade the Changing Man for Vertigo offered a skewered look at American culture, while Enigma, Face, The Extremist, and Rogan Gosh pushed the boundaries of what comic books could do. Milligan was the longest-running writer of the cult horror comic Hellblazer, and his take on Human Target inspired the TV series. For Marvel, the hugely-popular X-Statix was a radical reworking of the X-Man paradigm, described by Kevin Smith (CLERKS etc) as “the most well-observed scholarly analysis of media-manipulation filtered through a pop-culture lens ever committed to the page”.

Milligan is the screenwriter of  Pilgrim AKA Inferno (2000) and An Angel For May (2002) and currently is the co-creator and writer of Human Remains for Vault Comics
