Illuminations: Stories

Product Information

It felt a little obvious to me, and while the sex scene was kind of fun in a blasphemous way, it actually took away from the story for me because it felt a little hammed in there. Moore’s ability to take common, reality-based fears and turn them into something disconcerting is one of my favorite talents of his.

Segue-se Not Even Legend, uma críptica e bem humorada brincadeira com os amantes de lendas urbanas, teorias da conspiração e criaturas míticas. And sure, when you're creating a fictional world, even one whose close connections to our own is key to the point of the exercise, you're allowed to cheat. Alan Moore’s comics are second to none, but this collection of short stories just didn’t do it for me.

I read the first 6 stories out of 9 and each one of them made me increasingly annoyed as I turned each consecutive page.

Location, Location, Location,” is a comedic story about the last lawyer left alive after the end of days from Revelation showing Jesus around a new house.The Improbably Complex High-Energy State" otra excelente pieza, aunque el inicio puede ser pesado lo que sigue es una gran pieza sobre el abuso de poder.

I have a very hard time getting up the stairs as a twenty-some year old without resorting to all fours--and I have better balance than An American Light . And At Last, To Be Done With Silence é o remate perfeito para o livro, um conto ambiguo onde não percebemos se os personagens são viajantes ou almas penadas. Superhero fandoms of both the political right and the political left now enjoy a rare moment of unity in summarily rejecting Moore's fascism thesis, while observers point out that Moore has been claiming this for years—since, in fact, his earliest works in the genre, Miracleman and Watchmen.Veniamo trasportati all’interno di una narrazione surreale, talvolta bizzarra e ipnotica, che alterna momenti cupi, momenti struggenti e momenti di umorismo. The difference here is that as well as characters getting aliases – so Thunderman is Superman, the National Guard is Captain America, and so forth – so do publishers, and creators, and editors, and the gangsters who financed the companies. Illumination by Alan Moore is a short story collection that spans multiple years, genres and themes. NOT EVEN LEGEND - Four stars - I had a good time with this one, especially once I figured out the twist in the storytelling.
