The easiest way to describe this is to suggest you pick up a copy of 2000 AD at random and then read the issue as one story.It doesn't flow, nothing really makes sense but you're having fun reading comics anyway. It's like falling asleep during a film, missing the middle where all the important exposition happens and then waking up during the final conflict and cheering for the happy ending anyway. It's like listening to an audiobook on shuffle. It's like playing poker with the property cards fr...
Very rarely do comics or tv shows get the chance to wrap up loose ends--and you hope it's worth the wait. Rex Royd was the best part of Mark Millar's "CLINT Magazine" initiative. It was edge-lordy, but in a good way. Taking a piss out of the superhero genre--as well as faith towards figures like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, etc. Rex Royd is "The Renaissance Man of Madness"--it's basically if Lex Luthor was less subtle in his dickery.

I'm not sure what I just read.I wasn't surprised by the "God raping Eve" scene, but I was surprised by the lack of narrative. It took me about half way through the comics to understand it wasn't me who couldn't follow but that it was on purpose. After that I could enjoy it a bit more. Sometimes the craziness worked for me, other times I was bored. I didn't enjoy the artwork but I don't think any other style would have worked for what I think (?) he was trying to do.
