Gaiman crafts a story where a little girl has to find her own identity but also speaks to the idea of family values. We have to sometimes step back from our jobs and everyday stresses to realize what it important to all of us unless we too get caught up in our own dark realities. There is perhaps no better artist suited to tell this story than P. Craig Russell. His fluid - graceful style brings Gaimans characters to life - often in terrifying fashion. Even with buttons for eyes - Russell captures the malevolence of the new mom.

This is a different comic than many of you are used to. I am pretty sure my mention of Zombie -Robot Gustave Eiffel is enough to make that clear. It is unusual - quirky - and does not take itself too seriously. There is a very difficult tightrope to walk in superhero comics. If you want to tell a story about people with superpowers - battling monsters and madmen - you can not be too serious. Do a Google search for women in refrigerators or sue dibny if you want to see the perils of trying to be too serious. But not taking the characters and situations seriously has its own set of problems. See for example - Schumacher - Joel. Gerard Way walks that tightrope like one of the Flying Wallendas.
