Publisher: Ape Entertainment (http://www.ape-entertainment.com/)
Writer: Josh Wagner
Art: Joiton
Colors: Alejandro Marmontel
52 pages, full color
$5.95
Safety Content Label: PG
Publishers Blurb:
With murder on their minds, vengeful Tycoons chase gunslinger Fiction Clemens from the wastelands to the big city. Caught in a recurring struggle between love and hate, Clemens finds himself in the middle of an alien conspiracy to drag his Old West world into the Space Age.
Don't miss out on what Powers own Michael Avon Oeming describes as, "If Terry Gilliam and Tim Burton had a love child, it would the world of Fiction Clemens. The comic is a full, full meal, every page will fill your eyes and mind like few comics can."
Reviewer Comments:
Fiction Clemens, the main character of this title of the same name, is the strong and silent type, well he's silent anyway. This cowboy with the anorexic ten gallon hat is somewhat of a whimsical creature; he's a man of few words and even less regard for his own life. He seems to just aimlessly move through the pages of the book with little concern for what's going on around him.
As he aimlessly trudges through the desert with his polar opposite, Dune Trixie, it seems the only reason he's running from the son of the most powerful man in the region who wants to kill him (or marry him depending on whether Fic is wearing a dress or not) is because Trixie is dragging him along on this crazy adventure. Up for anything and nothing at the same time, Fic and his very talkative companion run into some strange characters who help them along their way and we're left with the idea that some very important people have only just begun to meddle in the life of this tight-lipped cowboy.
A strange sidebar to the story involves, two "fellers" who appear to be blind but can smell a man a tree away and have some strange conversations about death. I guess in the world Josh Wagner's created, the blind leading the blind is something of a reailty that just might be a working strategy to get through life.
