Colonel Weird: Cosmagog by Jeff Lemire

4.0

We get added insight into Colonel Weird, who definitely lives up to his name, in various incarnations as he bounces around time and space. Don't start the Black Hammer series with this volume, that's for sure! Its non-linear format is hard enough to follow even knowing how it fits into the larger Black Hammer universe. This seems to be Lemire's riff on characters like Watchmen's Doctor Manhattan for whom time and space hold no bounds. This is a short, fast read that really doesn't have a tidy ending, being more interested in studying Colonel Weird's character and origins than progressing the overall Black Hammer story. Let's hope there's a follow-up soon. The beautiful watercolor artwork by Tyler Crook is probably not to everyone's liking, but it fits the dreamy quality of Colonel Weird's life.
