Product Description: The Chronicles of Wormwood continues in this all-new original graphic novel that picks up right after the original trade paperback! Wormwood, Jimmy, and Jay all return and the world hasn't gotten any better since their last adventure. Wormwood still produces questionable TV shows and pines for Maggie, his lost love. The boys all share drinks at their favorite pub and try to get on with their lives, but Pope Jacko has his own plans for Wormwood. In order to dispatch the Anti-Christ once-and-for-all, he calls upon his finest Holy assassin, Brother One, the Killer Eunuch!
It's not the first chronicles Let me start off as saying I found the first Chronicles of Wormwood an entertaining and over the top look at the Catholic faith. I found that book to be very tongue in cheek, very perverted, and it did have a decent point of view about religion and beliefs. The Last Enemy is nothing like it.
This book takes off right where our previous story left off but it lacks story depth and overall content, literally, the book is very thin, almost comic book thin, it can hardly be called a graphic novel. This book feels like it was written just to wrap up some loose ends from the previous book (Chronicles of Wormwood) with some over the top graphic shock. If you need to see disgusting mutilation of male genitalia, this is the book for you. Otherwise I recommend passing on this one. It is not Garth Ennis's finest work.
Entertaing but short I really enjoyed the first Wormwood and was really looking forward to this one. For those who don't know what this book is about... it's about the Devil's son and Jesus. Very, very irreverant. Let alone what they do with the Pope. NOT FOR THE EASILY OFFENDED OR GROSSED OUT. Then again, if you like that thing, it's pretty good.
The art and story are up to par with the first TPB. The story as well. Lacking is the page count which numbers 48. Of which approximately 42 involve Wormwood. The others are short stories by Garth Ennis as well. They're not bad, just that I am a glutton for dark humor and wanted more. Oh well.
