If you’re ready for a dark mind-bending journey told with rich, clean black artwork, then I strongly recommend you read Black Hole. ![]() Good thing it’s a graphic novel because you can take your time with each intense chapter you can take a deep breath and try your best to work things out. It was originally published serially as a comic, and 10 years of labour went into its making. The mutations, dreams, and drug trips are all fantastically portrayed the art really sends you on a visual journey that shakes you up a bit.

Some of the panels are so complex that you could sit there for a couple of minutes just trying to work out what is going on, but in the end you discover that everything is right where it should be. Now Nemesis the Warlock's wayward son Thoth, on a quest for vengeance against Torquemada, has destabilsed the cosmic subways around the Termight Capital bringing destruction to Terra.

Not your X-Men sort of deal no superpowers, only deformities. ![]() Black Hole by Charles Burns is a story of teenagers, drugs, and an STD called the “Bug,” which gives whoever has it a random physical mutation, anything from small growths on the back to antennae coming out of the forehead. ![]()
