Supposed to be a triumph of open-mindnessness it presents an absolutely unadorable couple on the foreground to follow their vain attempts to look and behave gorgeous. No gothic, no enjoyable erotism, no spirit of E.A.Poe in all this. gay community should be annoyed to watch their brothers portrayed this way. I foresee this project a huge commercial failure. Such life is. Put a flower on an artist's tomb and sing child a lullaby. “Every piece of true art is erotic somehow, but not everything piece of erotic is a true art” - Wendy Pini’s Masque of the Red Death is a good example to this.

(That you don't seem to be aware of that shows how DC sadly underpromoted this work, alas.) Wendy was never the most prolific cartoonist to begin with (although it should be noted that she takes on the jobs of penciler, inker, letterer, colorist, and co-writer for th ElfQuet stuff), and she has also been spending time on reformatting ElfQuest for the manga-book format. Yay, more Wendy!
