Look! Up in the sky! It's...nothing.
???Continuing from the first miniseries, writer Grant Morrison and artist Cameron Stewart have returned to the world that doesn't need heroes in Seaguy: Slaves of Mickey Eye.
???At the end of the first comic series, Seaguy had a trip the moon, lost his best friend to the gondola-riding Death and was captured by the Orwellian-like eyeball soldiers.
???Sound weird? Good, because Slaves of Mickey Eye returns with the same deliciously peculiar mood.
???After his first run, Seaguy's life was full of apathy; what was once full of adventure has morphed into Seaguy moping around his home.
???All that changes when he has visions of his dead best friend, making readers wonder whether or not Seaguy is becoming paranoid, or if there is a conspiracy under everything.
???Morrison has described the first Seaguy as the loss of innocence and childhood. If that is the case, then Slaves of Mickey Eye refers to his troubled teenage years. He captures the angst and distrust of a teen with Seaguy, especially in what could be a scheme that enforces its rules on the world.
???Even though Seaguy is distrustful of those around him, there is still a strong naivety with the character, causing him to lash out at the unknown.
???Morrison's zany writing style is a perfect fit for the whimsical yet terrifying world of Seaguy. Along with creating a wonderful cast of the usual heroes, Morrison masterfully develops a fully functional fictional wonderland.
???His style resembles something along the lines of Terry Gilliam or David Lynch, where things are not what always they seem to be. On the surface, Morrison has created a magical world that looks like a Disney Land full of ex-superheroes, but underneath, he is able to inject a syringe full of claustrophobic dread and impending doom.
???Stewart's pencils really bring Morrison's writing to life. Seaguy and surrounding world are full of life and energy that jump right off of the page, capturing Morrison's obscure and odd world of imagination.
???For those who want something different with their superheroes, look no further than Morrison and Stewart's newest offering. The writer's unique style and out-there creativity will captivate and capture readers' attention, and transport them into an unordinary world.
