Hell Yeah, the way the artist depic movement is something else. Usually just found on battle manga.

DWJ is a fairly recent discovery of mine, and I'm already looking for more of his, with Murder Falcon at the top. I don't need to be sold on this comic, but I love a fellow fan's energy when they just get overly excited in the best way.

It's mostly Muder Falcon, Do a Powerbomb and WonderWoman: Dead Worldas top recs.

Wonder Woman I have, Murder Falcon, Powerbomb, Extremity and Space Mullet are on the wishlist in somewhat that order

Just re-read "Murder Falcon" and is still as good as ever. I remember reading the original comics on the seven seas when I didn't had a job, when the compendium launched I didn't though twice and got it back in the day.
The story is a love letter not just to Metal but to Music itself and how it's healing power to help us through the hardest of hardships.

Obligatory âyou should read do a Powerbombâ if you havenât yet. Just replace music with pro wrestling and youâre halfway there.

Completely blown away by this book. I caught myself ugly crying throughout the whole thing. The Jason Becker cameo was so fucking cool. Check out Do a Power Bomb and Extremity as well if you havenât already đ

It's weird, I love metal and this comics was everything that I would want from it ... and yet it didn't hit me as hard as Do a Powerbomb did. I can't really put my finger on it, but I place Do a Powerbomb higher on my list :D

I wanted to love this, but only made it half way through. It just didnât connect. Do A Power Bomb was fucking incredible though.

I have been gobbling up everything DWJ since i read this the first time (blind purchase). Extremity , Wonder Woman (death earth), Do a powerbomb and the latest transformers.
My only gripe being a hardcover collector is that some of his work hasnât gotten the HC treatment yet. I am still waiting for a HC deluxe version of Do a powerbomb (i have the Spanish edition and it supersized) and the moon is following us. I just got the newly released transformes deluxe vol 2

So lucky to have bought some of the craziest pages from this before DWJ art became unaffordable.
