While I absolutely love Graham's artwork I have come to the conclusion that he just can't tell a compelling story. Now don't get me wrong - he is excellent at setting up a premise, creating an atmosphere. I think that's why I love his short stories - because they are just long enough to set up a premise, create a mood or feeling, and provide just enough narrative to get the reader thinking.
On the other hand, King City, and now Multiple Warheads have left me wanting in the storytelling department. Sidenote: Prophet is a notable exception in my opinion, as Graham's seemingly endless vault of ideas gets a storytelling assist from two other collaborators for an awesome product.
Back to the topic at hand, MW features Graham's usual deadpan narrative style, as it starts out following Sexica and Nikoli out of Dead City and toward an unknown future. Later on the story branches off to follow another organ smuggler Blue Nura on a parallel story line.
While I think Graham did his best to tie it all together, this book collects lots of loosely related material making the book feel disjointed and the narrative just suffers more for it. For example much of the book reads like a sci-fi adventure but then there is a section that seems like it was originally created to be a porn comic rather than a chapter of this book. Its not that I can't handle a little sex (in fact I enjoy the sexiness in the rest of the book), I'm just saying its like the book doesn't know what it wants to be. It should be mentioned that while this book is billed as a "complete" collection, as it collects all the heretofore released MW material, this is an ongoing series and neither story line is brought to conclusion in this volume.
I'm a huge fan of Brandon Graham's work on the rejuvenated Image series Prophet, so I figured that if the guy could do such amazing things with a Rob Liefeld creation, then a creator-owned project of his would be astonishing. And so I purchased THE COMPLETE MULTIPLE WARHEADS.
THE COMPLETE MULTIPLE WARHEADS collects the 2007 one-shot Multiple Warheads: Down Fall, plus Multiple Warheads: Alphabet to Infinity # 1 - 4. It's just over 200 pages of amazing and intricate work from Graham, in both color and black & white. Rather than just draw characters and a background, Graham fills the pages (and even the outer and inner covers) with all kinds of visual treats and text. It's a crazy mix of science fiction, fantasy, manga, Eurocomics, and undergrounds, littered with puns, graffiti, semiotics, and some graphic sex. The story is more closely aligned with Graham's King City than with Prophet, but the wild concepts should appeal to fans of the latter. As usual, his world-building skills are on brilliant display - this may well be Earth, as certain aspects tread the familiar; however, it's so far removed from the Earth we know that it might as well be another planet.
In an alternate/future Russia, Sexica makes a living smuggling engineered organs for transplantation. She and her werewolf boyfriend Nikoli have plans to leave Dead Town for greener pastures, but they never seem to be able to get things in motion. The impetus to do so finally arrives in the form of a derelict spacecraft that crashes to Earth, obliterating their neighborhood. They then travel across the blasted wastelands, encountering all sorts of fascinating beings and situations. Meanwhile, Blue Nura, another smuggler, must locate the source of a mysterious severed head.
