A great twist on the modern shaman/wizard trope. I could ramble about the story and how intricate and riveting it is. However great books are not made by story but characters. The beauty of Thomas Alsop is all of the characters feel about real. This is rare for comics as most tend to go for high concept story telling and skip over giving the people in the book real feelings and emotions. My only complaint is that some of the people in the book do not have a distinct voice and sound the same. However that said most comics can't separate character voices at all.The only real issue I have is that it's volume one of an two part story while I read the whole series in comic book format I hope there is a volume two on the way so I can read it all in one sitting again

Getting to the sick heart of things By Mehitchcock ** spoiler alert **This is a really beautifully drawn book.It takes place in modern day NYC with colors in a lush watercolor style which manages to somehow be both garish and washed out at once. Very interesting look. The flashbacks are mainly in black and white, but often include one other color for highlight- blood red or sepia commonly.As the central mystery of the story unfolds, this style of art really starts to make sense. We're in a world where magic is real and where NYC is the magical key to the world, but where NYC isn't doing to good and hasn't been for a long time.I do not want to spoil the central image of the book (though the reason I bought it was the guy in the comic book shop showing it to me) but I do want to spoil the central subtext of the book. I find it remarkable.In any story with magic, a fine question to ask is what's the point? Is this just entertainment or can it be something more? In this case, it is much more.New York City, like much of America, has a lot of blood in its foundation. It's easy to pretend that slavery was only a real problem in the South, but all that suffering and death was a major boost to the young American economy. It's a sin we've never really answered for, something so big and so evil, it's hard to even imagine what that answer could be.So, during the character's flashbacks we discover the source of much of the magical malaise that infects the city comes in the form of the boards and beams of a dismantled slave ship which had been constructed by black magic to bring and enslave an African shaman over and which had been sold off as fill to help build the new coast of lower Manhattan.What an image! A country literally built on the back of slaves, a city that is the spirit of that country, and, it too, was literally built with the blooded beams of a slave ship.It's just great!The Alsop family, some original settlers to the area, had been conscripted by the Mespeatches (Maspeth) Indians as the magical protectors of the land. This gift and curse had been passed down through the generations until we arrive at the current day, with the main character, a somewhat lazy, burned out, fame-obsessed, lost, and lazy dude who is kinda bad at the job of protector. But is it his fault? Or is it just the creeping dread from the rot at the center of lower Manhattan? Maybe a combination of both. Either way, he's a fun character to be around and an interesting center to the story.The book ended on a cliffhanger, but not a cool conclusive cliffhanger that is also a good stopping point- this was more of an in the middle of things abrupt kind of cliffhanger. I'll definitely be following the series, but I thought this was a weakness.Very strong book. You'll love that central image too, right at the end of Chapter Two, you'll know right away when you see it. Another great way to represent the kind of pain that festers at the center of things- a real powerful theme to build a narrative around. And such pain was also hinted at existing within the family and Thomas himself, something I'll look forward to being carried a little further in future installments.Cause like it or not, whether talking about a person, a family, a city, or a whole culture, if there is pain in there, it will control the story. Very interesting if you're not the one hurt. Very sad if you're in it. Rich material on which to build a fictional universe.
