Must get...

this sounds interesting. I love interesting character ideas. Of course, plot and setting are very important too. But usually, if someone is creative enough to think up shit like mentioned below, they probably have a unique enough imagination to come up with some interesting stories. Of course, dialogue is the other issue, and who knows how that will turn out... Anybody know anything about this?

Ben Templesmith's comic "Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse" walks a fine line between icky and funny, and it walks it very well. Wormwood is a tiny, sentient worm that pilots a rotting corpse (complete with inverted pentagram carved into its forehead) around, steering from his vantage-point in the corpse's right eye-socket. His sidekicks include a clanking mechanical steampunk android with a fetish for small arms and an ultra-violent stripper who can cause wings to burst forth from her back.

They fight crime.

Of course.

The artwork in this one is just fabulous -- muddy watercolors streaked with savage tentacle-beasts and shambling horrors from nether-hells. Templesmith draws good gore, too.

The first collected volume was a hoot -- I'm looking forward to reading this one for a long time.
