Christopher Sebela

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Christopher Sebela is a two-time Eisner nominated writer of creator-owned comics such as Shanghai Red, Crowded, House Amok, High Crimes, We(l)come Back, Heartthrob, Dead Letters and properties like Captain Marvel, Fantastic Four, Aliens vs. Predator, Escape from New York, Kiss/Vampirella and other stuff. Sadly he has also become fairly well known as the experiencer and chronicler of a month spent living in a clown motel. The less said about this, the better.
Amongst other things, he is a graphic designer, a smoker, queer, bearded, on brain medication, in deep want of an army of dogs and forever in search of caffeine. He was born in Chicago, lived in Kansas City and is currently residing in Portland, Oregon. He is not writing about himself in the third person, that would be weird. He's pretty sure he has you all totally fooled.

One of the best new series I’ve read in quite some time. Inventive premise and action packed illustrations that subvert the norm.

I like the first single issue

Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2015

I thought that the book was okay. I like the first single issue, and bought this volume to read more. I don't think that I'll continue reading it if it does continue with more volumes, but don't regret buying it. I really like the art, which is very vibrant and painterly. The character designs are interesting, there's a good twist after the first chapter which it plays out well enough.

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2015

When Sam wakes up without his memory, in a run-down motel with bandages on his arms, he knows something is not right. When people start trying to kill him, he knows it's even worse than he feared.

It turns out that Sam is in Purgatory, basically, and there's a local gang war about to explode. Sam's skills are in demand by multiple players. If only he could remember where he got them... ? Sebela and Visions have done a great job creating a dark quasi-dream world where there can still be a halfway happy ending for Sam. At least for this volume. No promises for any future volumes, given the heavy noir influence!
