An interesting read that makes me wish the ending told us more. I'm a sucker for happily ever afters and I'd love to know what happens next.
But maybe it's a good thing that it ends where it does, since the follow up to an impossible story would probably fall flat.
In Smith I see the kid I was, the kid with books instead of friends.

Enigma Peter Milligan Duncan Fegredo Grant Morrison Sherilyn Van Valkenburgh 9781563891922 Books Reviews

Grant Morrison said about Milligan's Enigma, "I believe his Enigma book is far superior to Watchmen in every significant way." and he is right.
perfect
No complaints.
My problem with this -quite expensive- comic is that I do not like its iperrealistic drawing style which stresses every single line of people's faces so that even those supposed to be very good looking (Enigma himself and the model Victoria Yes) look deformed.
It is a deliberate choice, of course, bt I do not like it.

The booklet is self contained and tells us the story of an average straight boy leading a very average life meeting the -male- hero from the comics he used to read as a child.
The idea of a comic about a comic is not bad and brings forth some fairly interesting issues identity, sexual identity, children mistreatment, etc.
I was not overwhelmed by plotting, though.
A lot of gore and some adult topics (nudity and mild gay sex among them) make this booklet unsuitable for minors.
Peter Milligan is always incredible.

I never knew quite where Engima was going to take me until I was finished with it. At times I was confused -- hell, most of the time I was confused. I worried that it would become too preachy or philosophical to be enjoyable; I worried it would fall into randomness and end without making sense; I worried it would fall victim to awkward stereotypes. It did none of these things.

Enigma is a fantastic story, dark and twisted. The art reflects this well; it may not be the prettiest thing to look at, but it's fitting enough that it shouldn't be a problem for almost anyone once they get into the story.

The characters begin simply, and through the events of the story grow three-dimensional so that you can't help but care for them. The villains are twisted and fantastic Envelope Girl especially is a favorite of mine, though she overall isn't entirely important as a character.

Michael is a twenty-something nobody whose life continues every week in such a repetitive way that it could only be called obsessive compulsive; he wears his underwear according to the days of the week and only has sex on Tuesdays. His world is shaken when the first villain appears, and soon he realizes that they're from a three-issue comic he loved as a child. Titus is the creator of the comic, an older, gay man who was too stoned while writing it to make sense of it himself, though he's praised as a prophet by a group of youths called the Enigmatics. And there's the Enigma himself, alternately loved and hated by the populace of the city he more or less protects, and properly enigmatic himself. And the narrator -- an omnipresent voice with an all-encompassing knowledge of the story, full of scorn and contempt for those he tells the story and for the characters within, withholding knowledge and becoming, as he does so, a well-developed character himself.

And the ending -- the ending is perfect. You may be unsure of the story all the way until then, but the ending wraps it all together, fits every piece into place without a space between. Fantastic.
An interesting read that makes me wish the ending told us more. I'm a sucker for happily ever afters and I'd love to know what happens next.
