Customer review of: Cerebus: The Last Day Customer Rating: Summary: Better than the prior few -- Sad ending for Cerebus Comment: The strengh of this book is with the exception of the opening section which is mainly text invovling a reinterpetation of various religous texts stemming from the prior books ,the rest of this is actually comics. The weakness is the pacing as Sim goes over and over Cerebus's various alilments in a redundent fashion. Cerebus in this book is essentially an aging powerful religous/political figure trapped in his own home. A sad ending to the series - tyhe final section involving his death however is beautifully drawn Customer Rating: Summary: Beautiful... Comment: The black & white artwork in this book is so detailed & insightful, that It serves other comic book artists an insurmountable task to (at the very least) aspire to. If you're objective enough (as most devoted Cerebus readers seem to be) - you'll understand that this book isn't meant to 'entertain' you with subject matter akin to television. This book is a detailed observation on the personal intricacies of a VERY old man (or aardvark). Sim's black & white 'method' of depicting this is marvelous. This book is a great endcap to the Cerebus stroyline. Bobby.N Customer Rating: Summary: THE LAST DAY AT LAST Comment: ...i was first introduced to Cerebus back in 1987 (when i was still in high school) from a friend who let me read a few of his back issues. I quickly became quite the "Cerebus fanatic" buying up all the issues i could find. Eventually i bought a couple of the phone books "church and state" "high society" and was blown away by the creative genius of Sim in both his storytelling and his almost "animation cell" like artwork (thanks to his background artist Gerhard)... ...as the story progressed and the pacing slloooowed down...somewhere around Jakas Story... i figured i would stop buying the individual issues and just wait for all of the phone books.... and 18 years later here they are!!!!!! One of the greatest tales (in 16 volumes) ever to appear in graphic form!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: And in the end.... Comment: This is the last volume in the series of paperbacks collecting the entire run of Cerebus. This is a very complex series, so you really need to read the previous 15 volumes to understand what is going on here. A lot of people gave up on this series long before it got to this volume, due to Dave Sim's controversial viewpoints and some often infuriating plot developments. But I'm not going to go into what happened in previous volumes. This particular volume consists entirely of Cerebus' last day of life. It starts off with a dream Cerebus has, which is really Dave Sim's explanation for the Origin of Everything (this is the sort of thing that has alienated so many Cerebus readers). Then Cerebus wakes up, and we witness the rest of his day, until he dies. I won't give away too much, but Cerebus is a decrepit old man at this point. Anyway, if you read the previous 15 volumes of Cerebus, I'm sure you'll want to find out how it ends. If you haven't read Cerebus before, this isn't the place to start.
