This book is just freaky. I like it. But it's freaky. Desolation, or just Mr. Jones, is trying to figure out why his friend John Asher was killed. John was an ex spook, just like Jones. He goes to where he was living, if you could call it that, and finds his secret stash. It's a notebook with lots of names and numbers and e-mails. His next stop is a movie producer in Beverly Hills. He doesn't find all the answers, but it moves him further on down his path. What I really like about this book is the attitude. The attitude from the characters, and obviously from the writer. Warren Ellis puts in all kind of obscure references. Stuff that doesn't make you any smarter to know, but it's still cool stuff. Daniel Zezelj is the artist. Also the artist of Loveless. What his shadows and renderings do for Loveless, they do even more so for this book. His mood and style is perfect for the feel and nature of this book. I thought this book was done after issue 6, but I'm glad it's back and moving on. This book is almost like 007. If Sean Connery was a crack addict and hadn't eaten in about 3 weeks. But seriously, I do like this book. I also highly recommend it to everyone.
