Razorjack Collected Edition
Written, created and illustrated by: John Higgins
Published by: Com.X
As I turned the last page of John Higgins’ “Razorjack” compilation, my first thoughts were “THAT’S IT?! WHERE’S THE REST?! WHAT HAPPENS TO FRAME?!”. “Razorjack” is painfully, ridiculously, ingeniously, exceptionally and at times demonically delicious! It could have easily fallen apart and turned into a great blob of mish-mashed characters and inter-dimensional plot twists, but instead John Higgins somehow has taken chaos and created an incredibly entertaining tale.
In a few words and without giving anything away, the plot goes something like this. Razorjack and her twisted handmaidens have found a nexus that will allow them to enter into our world. Three college students inadvertently find themselves caught in the middle while two cops, Frame and Ross must find a way to save the world as we know it.
Razorjack is by far one of the coolest, most entertaining books I’ve read in a long time. I only have good things to say about this book and I would sit here and type them all out, or instead, I thought you should hear what some of the big boys in comics have to say about John’s creation.
“RAZORJACK is exactly the sort of thing I’ve been talking about; doing things new is the point. John Higgins is an innovative and driven artist, constantly looking for the next level, constantly expanding his capabilities.”
-Warren Ellis-
“Razorjack delivers something rare: A solid story and artistic brilliance by John Higgins.
-Jimmy Palmiotti-
“It’s always a pleasure to see John’s work, and Razorjack is one of his best-kept secrets.”
-Garth Ennis-
If you don’t know who any of these guys are than you haven’t read some of the best comics over the last ten years. Besides the fact that Razorjack is a great read, the colledted edition comes with a whole slew of extras, from character sketches to a new mini comic at the end. John Higgins and Com.X have put together a kick ass collection of comic book goodness.
