All the hallmarks of Murakami's greatness are here: restless and sensitive characters, disturbing shifts into altered reality, silky smooth turns of phrase and a narrative with all the momentum of a roller coaster. In his searchings, he encounters a clairvoyant 13-year-old, her misguided parents and a one-armed poet. ![]() Divorced, bereaved and abandoned by his various lovers, he is drawn to the Dolphin Hotel-a strange and lonely establishment where Kiki, a woman he once lived with, ``upped and vanished.'' Kiki and the Sheep Man, an odd fellow who wears a sheepskin and speaks in a toneless rush, visit the narrator in visions that lead him to two mysteries, one metaphysical (how to survive the unsurvivable) and the other physical (a call girl's murder). The unnamed narrator, a muddled freelance writer, is 34 and no closer to finding happiness than he was in the previous book. ![]() In this impressive sequel to A Wild Sheep Chase, Murakami displays his.

This 11-issue arc is, hands down, a masterpiece of comics. It creates such a large myth, such a grand legend that anything further would just dilute its grandeur, its greatness. This really does seem like the be-all/end-all for what can and should be done with the character. I would be quite happy to never read another Thor story again, thank you very much. There wasn't anything that more Thor could deliver that would improve upon what the one-two knockout punch of "The God Butcher" and "Godbomb" delivered. I didn't want more Thor, despite having a mammoth collection of issues 12-25 beside me. I don't know that I've ever been so satisfied by a story arc as I was with this one. Well, gods-damn does it ever follow through. "The God Butcher", volume 1 of Thor: God of Thunder, was so very, very epic that, in waiting to retrieve the next volume from my father-in-law, I began to have doubts that it could follow through. ![]() ![]() Problem is, Batman can’t remember…and the more he digs into this labyrinthian case, the more his mind starts to doubt everything he’s uncovering.

In addition, DC is publishing the first issue from their new DC Black Label line with Batman: Damned, anew series from Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo.
