Description

Once he was Hero of the Beach...and of the Doom Patrol. Now Flex Mentallo, the Man of Muscle Mystery, returns to investigate the sinister dealings of his former comrade, The Fact, and a mysterious rock star whose connection to Flex may holding the key to saving them both. This fast-paced tale twists super- hero tropes, introducing one mind-boggling concept after another. This long- asked-for Vertigo title is collected at last, presenting an early collaboration between writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely, who would win much acclaim on ALL-STAR SUPERMAN.

  • Flex Mentallo - THE DELUXE EDITION HC (2012)
This review will focus on the edition of the book itself rather than the work of Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely, you can find many great reviews about the story itself right here in Amazon. I'll just say that both artists shine so much in this volume that you will suffer of temporarily blindness after reading it, only to then gain a 4th dimensional vision of what Super-Heroes and Ideas are about. Fortunately, this book is quite a "Deluxe" edition, as DC/Vertigo applied the Fables Deluxe series standard of quality: - The paper stock is glossy and heavy weight and the printing quality is great. - The book features a full-color printed hardback under the dustjacket (unlike the rest of DC/Vertigo HCs that have just a shamelessly dark grey presentation. That's right, dark grey, not even true black). - It's a solid glued binding book. Of course I would have liked a sewn one, but given that this is a slim volume and there's almost no gutter loss, I can totally live with the glued binding. Other good things to consider: - The dustjacket features a new illustration by Frank Quitely, really beautiful. - The original comics were re-coloured for the ocasion. I'm usually against re-colouring, but in this case I'm happy with the results. The original comics were presented in a typical mid-nineties digital colouring fashion that hasn't aged that well. The new colouring is a great enhancement that respects the original intent, but with a much better use of the tools. - We get a 14-pages section of extras at the end of the book, with sketches and original artwork by Quitely. - We also get a 4-pages prologue which was previously featured in issues #2 and #4 of the original series as a 2-part article section. - Finally, the overall design of the book is quite nice and eye-catching. This is a great opportunity to get this series, it was out of print for legal issues for about 15 years and was nearly impossible to get due to the insane bidding prices. Get this book, OWN IT, because this is the kind of work that you will read once and again and again and again, and then again and again. That's just how multilayered this book is! ... show more

  • Postmodern Masterpiece.
A masterpiece of postmodern comic book storytelling. This is a love letter to comic books with a critique of the Gen-X nihilistic attitudes that were worn on sleeves like badges of honor. Deeply personal to Morrison and clever.

  • A Fantastic meditation on comics, ideas, and life itself!
First off it should be said that this book is not for everyone. It's an incredibly deep book and demands several readings. If you accept that and are okay with this then you are in for a real treat with this book. It's a fantastic story centered around golden age hero Flex Mentallo and his search for his former partner The Fact. His search takes him through all periods of comic history, from the golden age all the way to what Grant Morrison believes to be the new Renaissance of superheroes. At the same time we meet a down on his luck rock star (who looks oddly a bit like Grant Morrison with long hair) who's about to end it all. As we come to find out this rock star is more important than he believed. Part of what makes this story so good is the the subtext to everything that happens. It tackles growing up, finding worth in life, the grand ideals of superheroes. Every reading reveals more layers. This book looks fantastic in both it's presentation and it's artwork. This is Frank Quitley at the top of his game, rivaled only by his work on All Star Superman. If you're a fan of the creative duo of Morrison and Quitley or you're just looking for a smart comic read definitely give this book a try you won't regret it. ... show more

  • Best thing Morrison has ever written
Grant Morrisonhas written some of my favorite comics, but this tops the list: deeply autobiographical, and managing the alchemist's trick of forging profundity out of stoned out surrealism. The book is propelled by the art of Frank Quitely, one of Morrison's very best collaborators and an artist of astonishing talent. In short, get it. ... show more

  • Great comic, very heady.
Flex Mentallo is like an Inside Out, meets superheroes, for adults who want to be cosmically aware: quite a trip, and an incredible story. The quality of the book is also good. I"ve read through mine several times already, and it looks like it will hold up to much more use.

  • I like Grant Morrison too
I wasn't a fan of this story, I like Grant Morrison too, but the story jumped around a lot and was not very easy to follow. I figured based on the reviews and cover it would be a lot more accessible but did not find it to be. I would recommend a lot of other comics to friends and family before this one. ... show more

  • Package with absolute care
The comic is gorgeous. It seriously looks like I just went to a factory and picked it up off the press. It is stunning.
