Dial H, Vol. 1: Into You (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

Not sure how I feel about this one. I think I expect more and feel like I'm supposed to view the oddly-worded dialogue every character seems incapable of spitting out in a readable manner.This also feels really Grant Morrison-y in that there's little explanation of the surreal elements, which I find to be poor plotting since a lot of Marvel and Vertigo series excel at employing surreal concepts while doing the reader a favor and giving them a clue as to what the hell is happening. I always feel like I should just know what's happening but that's just me projecting a guilt that I assume is present for those that don't readily "get it." Dial H is one weird comic book (in a very good way). It is a genre-bending tour de force that introduces many amazing concepts and ideas that only China Miéville could come up with. I started reading the book without knowing what it was about, and I think it made the experience even more thrilling.I do not understand why people complain about the book's surrealism and non-linear plot - as it is in fact a very straight-forward, perfectly clear story that is very well told and beautifully drawn. The goofy hero characters give a nice comedic touch to the book, as well as a lot of originality. The sad thing about all this is that DC Comics cancelled Dial H a long while ago. The second trade paperback is coming out this month, thank god!

What do You think about Dial H, Vol. 1: Into You (2013)?

This didn't appeal to me. Interesting concept, but much to convoluted in it's execution.
