Description
Paul KleePaul Klee (18791940) hat eine einzigartige, uert beliebte Werkgruppe geschaffen: Hhere Wesen stehen darin nicht nur fr Spiritualitt, sondern auch fr Skepsis und Zweifel gegenber Religion und Glaubensfragen. Das ist der Grund ihrer Popularitt: Klees Engel sind dem menschlichen Dasein verhaftet, mit Schwchen und Schnheitsfehlern, vergesslich und hsslich, sorgenvoll oder verspielt bisweilen teuflisch. Fr den Knstler schlieen Gut und Bse einander nicht
Paul Klee (1879–1940) hat eine einzigartige, äußert beliebte Werkgruppe geschaffen: Höhere Wesen stehen darin nicht nur für Spiritualität, sondern auch für Skepsis und Zweifel gegenüber Religion und Glaubensfragen. Das ist der Grund ihrer Popularität: Klees Engel sind dem menschlichen Dasein verhaftet, mit Schwächen und Schönheitsfehlern, vergesslich und hässlich, sorgenvoll oder verspielt – bisweilen teuflisch. Für den Künstler schließen Gut und Böse einander nicht aus, sondern ergänzen sich schöpferisch. Rund 80 Engelsdarstellungen, die vorwiegend in Klees letzten Lebensjahren entstanden, spiegeln sowohl die Angst vor dem Tod und das körperliche Gebrechen des unheilbar Erkrankten wider als auch dessen altersweisen Witz und Humor, seine Heiterkeit und Gelassenheit. Neben biografischen Referenzen und ikonografischen Sentenzen beleuchtet die Publikation einzelne Arbeiten wie das Werk Angelus Novus, das Walter Benjamin zur legendären Denkfigur des »Engels der Geschichte« inspirierte.

Just Spectacular
Format: Kindle
I just read seven issues in one sitting and turned to my husband and told him I was sad because I just read an amazing new comic but I finished it and now I have to wait for more. This story is hard to explain, or stick in any particular comic niche. There's hitmen, vampires, ghosts, teenagers performing Sweeney Todd as their school play, apocalyptic dilemmas, addiction, redemption and a talking mole. Just wow. The art is really crisp, colorful and clean. If you liked Middlewest, I think you'll love this. Looking forward to more from these creators.

Great characters, great art, too many loose ends
Format: Paperback
I want to love it; it has great art and realistic characters in a interesting setting, but even by the end of the first volume I was left with nothing but questions. I feel like nothing ever got explained and it took away from the quality of the comic. I'm sure if I continue reading I will get the answers I want, but it feels like the pacing of the story is just a little off. Still a stellar comic.

Can't get past the art
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book blind, knowing nothing about the creators and with no expectations. While I thought the story was interesting and generally well-executed, sometimes the intrusion of the writer's thoughts, the attempts to break the fourth wall, and the wink-wink, nudge-nudge gags at the fans grow tiresome.
But the writing is the strength compared to the art, which in my opinion is poor at best. The artist lacks anatomical skills, perspective skills -- the art almost never fills the frame. The splash pages are underwhelming because the figures are so small. Even the parts of the story that are supposed to be "cartoony" (the 5th dimension), which might better fit this artist's abilities, don't work.
I really feel this could have been a significantly better product with a different artist.
