Review: The Shepherd #1

The Shepherd #1 delivers an interesting concept but the split in art holds it back and creates a distraction #Comics #ComicBooks

After the loss of his son, a theologian takes on the mission to make sure his son’s soul finds peace in the afterlife. The Shepherd #1 is a solid debut that’s hampered a bit with a split of artists.

The Shepherd

The Shepherd Caliber Comics 2015 Written by Andrea Lorenzo Molinari & Roberto Xavier Molinari Illustrated by Kyle Huston, Cristobal Torres Iglesias, Bethany Varni Ryan Showers, Jess Hara Coloured by Heather Breckel Lettered by Jacob Bascle, David C. Hopkins     Professor Lawrence Miller lost his son Val to an overdose. Inconsolable, he could sense his son calling out from beyond the grave. Recklessly, Miller followed his son into the afterlife. After great turmoil and with the help of Franco, his long-deceased father, Lawrence and Val are reunited. Now they wander the "Seam," that ever-shifting place between this world and whatever comes next, helping other souls.     This is a three volume review, something that I normally don't do. There are a lot of artists involved here so trying to review a three volume set is extremely challenging and I am not a fan of trying to do this this way. It is also probably why I have been putting this off for so long I just am having a hard time trying to do this. Now we all know my mindset and where I am at so if I don't cover all the art that is here you know why.     Before I start let me say that I love that the writing is done by a father and son. It makes the connection that we see just that much more amazing. I get where the whole idea of how a father couldn't live without his son and the lengths he would go to to understand why things happened the way that they did. Also it is kind of heart-warming that a father and son could work together to create this and write it, granted if I tried something like this with my father someone would've gotten murdered just saying.     There is something to be said for reading all of these one after another and that's being able to see the writing grow and evolve. I like how the first volume saw the catalyst happen and from there it was not so easy going. For what happened here was as much a learning curve for the Professor as anything else and if he was going to be reunited with his son it was something that he had to learn. All of it happens in this completely interesting way, so much so that when I read volume two it took a different direction and it's one that makes slightly more sense to me. Still I appreciate the fact that the introduction to the characters happened the way they did.     The fact that this almost has same theme flowing through all the books but in different ways is an interesting route to take. Family above all, doing and staying together and being able to overcome whatever comes your way is a wonderful thing to see and the way it is presented has a great quality to it. Everything we see throughout all three volumes showcases character growth and evolution in ways that nice to see. The story & plot development and the character development that we are seeing here is stellar stuff, the way that information is revealed how the twists and turns that are delivered with this strong pacing really makes you sit up and take notice. Each book has a stellar ebb & flow and they read with such ease.     The interiors here varying from book to book, story to story. Art is the most subjective part of any comic as we all have our own tastes and preferences. I have a definite favourite and one is wish been the one artist throughout the series but that's a moot point. Each volume has one thing in common and that's the way page layouts are utilised and how we see the angles and perspective in the panels and how they show various eyes for storytelling. Each has good, solid and strong eyes as well. There are some that utilise backgrounds better than others and I am a huge believer in utilising them to their fullest potential. The colour work also depends on the linework and how we see the varying weights of the linework being utilised. The style has colour work to match and honestly I think there are moments that will stand out for everyone in different ways. ​     I like the idea behind this series. I like how each volume continues to grow, evolve and change the characters in visible ways. Start off the way we do and end where we do show a world of growth from the father/son writing duo and depending on their plans I wouldn't seeing either of them continue to pursue this solo. If see them at a convention scoop em up, or go to their website and check these and everything else they have to offer. www.calibercomics.com

Fabio Novembre

Fabio Novembre. Arquitecto, diseñador e interiorista.

Fabio Novembre (1966, Lecce, Italia) es un arquitecto y diseñador italiano con un marcado estilo propio.

Su padre hacía muebles en la ciudad de Lecce -ciudad que además está considerada la cuna del Barroco- donde vivían, al sur de Italia.

Se trasladó a Milán en 1984 con 17 años, donde se graduó en la Universidad de Arquitectura del Politécnico de ésta ciudad en 1992.

En 1993 Fabio Novembre se trasladó a vivir a la ciudad de Nueva York, donde asistió a diversos cursos de dirección de cine.

En 1994 consiguió su primer trabajo como diseñador de interiores para  la tienda Blumarine de Anna Molinari (ya antes de sus colaboraciones con Bisazza, el mosaico -empleado en el proyecto de decoración de ésta tienda- formaba parte del lenguaje de Novembre).

Anna Molinari, por aquel entonces, encargó a un desconocido Novembre, dos de sus tiendas, la primera fue la de Hong Kong y casi simultáneamente otra en Londres. Ese mismo año abriría su estudio en Milán donde empezaría a dar rienda suelta a su pasión creativa.

Los próximos años fueron intensos para el diseñador, y llegan otros proyectos como el impactante restaurante Shu Milán (1999) donde dos gigantescas manos doradas sujetan el techo del local.

La línea curva, el trazo que mejor representa al cuerpo femenino, es una de las grandes motivaciones de Novembre, y este erotismo es para él inevitable y natural. Así nace la silla Him & Her para Casamania, una de las piezas clave de su carrera, o el increíble sofá AND, que diseñó en el 2002 para Capellini.

Desde 2000 hasta 2003 trabajó como director de arte en la tienda de Bisazza en Nueva York, contribuyendo al crecimiento internacional de la marca de teselas para mosaico. También creó el interiorismo para otros locales en los cuales el empleo de mosaico en los revestimientos se forjó como una característica propia de su estilo.

Desde 2001 ha venido colaborando con marcas italianas de diseño creando diferentes piezas de mobiliario con empresas como : Fiat; Cappellini; Driade; Meritalia; Flaminia y Casamania, que ha incluido en muchos de sus interiorismos.

Hasta Pepsi se ha rendido al talento del diseñador. También los proyectos con las mejores marcas de moda continuaron, como la tienda Tardini en Nueva York, y todos las tiendas de Stuart Weitzman en todo el mundo.

De 2008 a 2014 participó en varias exhibiciones e instalaciones : En 2008, la exposición sobre su obra “Enséñame la libertad de las golondrinas“, por encargo del Ayuntamiento de Milán.

En 2009 el Museo del Diseño de la Triennale de Milán lo invitó a crear una exposición personal llamado “Il Fiore di Novembre“. En 2010 el Ayuntamiento de Milán le pidió crear una exposición en el interior del Pabellón de Italia durante la Expo de Shanghai.

2011 es el Año de la Fotografía, y después de ser art-director de la exposición “Lavazza con te partirò” en el Teatro del Arte de la Triennale de Milán (para el calendario del 20 aniversario de la empresa), también diseñará y comisionará la exposición Steve McCurry en MACRO Testaccio (Roma).

En 2014 Fabio Novembre y su equipo diseñaron todos los interiores de la sede del club de fútbol AC Milan, que incluye oficinas, restaurante, tienda y el museo Mondo Milán, que recorre toda la historia del equipo.

Fabio Novembre reivindica la vida, el divertimento, la naturaleza, la pasión y la libertad por encima de todo, y su única pretensión es que la gente sonría al ver sus diseños. En su filosofía de vida, y como diseñador, preconiza una absoluta apertura hacia las personas y las cosas.

Es el hacedor de un mundo onírico, con vivos colores y formas orgánicas, de cuyo cóctel surgen diferentes diseños que continuamente re-interpretan los espacios en los que interviene, y que no siguen ninguna corriente o principio establecido.

Extravagante, y sin sentido del pudor, es un hombre hecho a sí mismo que vive para trabajar y es inmensamente feliz por hacerlo a su manera; porque sin libertad no puede crear. En su pequeño estudio no acepta más de 2 ó 3 encargos por año para poder centrarse en ellos en cuerpo y alma.

Además para él, y sin ánimo de provocar con su visión formal y estética, el cuerpo de la mujer es una inspiración recurrente en su trabajo :

“En casi todas las religiones la divinidad está representada con forma humana, ya que el ser humano no es capaz de imaginar nada más perfecto que su propio cuerpo. Yo me reconozco totalmente en esta mentalidad, pero añadiendo un punto de vista masculino“.

“Para mí, la divinidad es femenina y el cuerpo desnudo de una mujer es la máxima aspiración estética que se puede disfrutar. Percibo la desnudez femenina como un reclamo irresistible. Por tanto, mi arquitectura es mujer : sensual, sinuosa y misteriosa“.

The Shepard: The Path of Souls #1

The Shepard: The Path Of Souls #1 Black Caravan/Scout Comics 2021 Written & Created by Andrea Lorenzo Molinari & Roberto Xavier Molinari Illustrated by Jess Hara & Kyle Huston Lettered by DC Hopkins      Black Caravan Imprint:     Prof. Lawrence Miller (a.k.a. The Shepherd) and his companions are wandering in the Seam, the transitioning place between this world and whatever comes next. While traveling, they stumble on a particular district of the Seam that functions as a hospital of sorts for the souls of warriors who have died in combat. It appears that they have come to a peculiar version of Operation Phantom Fury, the 2nd Battle of Fallujah (November 2004). But this is the afterlife... and things aren't always what they seem. Enjoy the first issue of this NON-STOP! title followed by the entire story collected soon after in one volume.    I am a fan of this franchise and I have been since I read the first issue.  It’s been a while since I read the last issue and yet when I started reading it all came flooding back to me.  That a story can flood your memories with what has come before should tell you how good, strong and powerful that the story actually is.  This is some really good work folks and it is a series you need to have ordered for you if it isn’t at your store.    I am a huge fan of the way that this is being told.  The story & plot development that we see through how the sequence of events unfold and how the reader learns information is presented exceedingly well.  The character development is utterly fantastic!  With the narration, the dialogue, the character interactions as well as how they act and react to the situations and circumstances which they encounter and what this does so magnificently is bring their personalities to the forefront.  The pacing is excellent and as it takes us through the pages introducing the story, the characters and the world they live in which keeps us engaged and invested in the story.    I really like the way that we see this being structured and how the layers within the story emerge, grow and strengthen.  The layers open up avenues to be explored and those that won’t but they all add some of the great depth, dimension and complexity to the story.  How we see everything working together to create the story’s ebb & flow as well as how it moves the story forward is impeccably achieved.      The interiors here are utterly sensational!  The linework is clean, crisp and sharp and how we see the varying weights and techniques being utilised to create this level of detail to the work we see throughout is phenomenally well rendered.  I’m thrilled with how we see backgrounds being utilised to enhance and expand the moments as well as how they work within the composition of the panels to bring out the depth perception, sense of scale and the overall sense of size and scope to the story is really extremely nice to see.  The utilisation of the page layouts and how we see the angles and perspective in the panels show a remarkably talented eye for storytelling.  The various hues and tones within the colours being utilised to create the shading, highlights and shadow work we see shows an extraordinary eye for how colour works.  That we see colour utilised to create the depth and dimension in the work so that no linework is needed to create the detail is mindbogglingly brilliant! ​    This book is really rather extraordinary for a number of reasons and aside from this really strong writing and dynamic characterisation the interior artwork is stunning and while this is what gets us in the door it’s the intangibles that keep us coming back.  There is some beautiful outside the box thinking going on with this series and this issue hammers that home in a spectacular manner.  It draws the reader in, engages their mind and gets them invested in the book in these magnificent ways.  I cannot recommend this highly enough it really is one of those that will take you by surprise and you’ll yourself lost in this world.
