Because there was a lot of really read-worthy stuff in here. There was drama, character interaction and development, a well-structured plot, interesting (and fun; one should never forget fun!) secondary and tertiary characters (wow, I think I just invented a literary phrase, although I’m convinced a) that the English language already has a word for the Norwegian “bifigurer”, and b) that the phrases already mean something else in English), and lots of other neat stuff.

And in the first half of the story, things worked out well, and everything was most peachy. But then I reached parts three and four, and the artwork started killing my reading enjoyment. Sure, I’ve seen even more dubious and twisted artwork in e.g. Sandman, Preacher (the ones not drawn by Dillon) and Lucifer, but those comics were more artsy, and the Hellish landscapes, twisted demons, angry angels and uncanny architecture was more fitting for this kind of art. I want my superheroes to look glossy and pefect, dammit, not like Gaudium’s elder siblings.
