Strange Embrace #1 (of 8)
By David Hine & Rob Steen
SPAWN & X-MEN: CIVIL WAR writer David Hine brings his magnum opus to Image Comics! Digitally remastered, STRANGE EMBRACE is now available as eight monthly issues colored by FLANIMALS co-creator Rob Steen and lettered by those awfully nice chaps at Comicraft! STRANGE EMBRACE is a modern gothic psycho-sexual tortured romance and is not for the nervous!
"The game that is being played between art, captions and dialogue is profound. Strange Embrace isn't only well written and illustrated, it's funny with a lot of mystery. A rare gem indeed." (5/5 bullets) — Martijn Form, Line of Fire Reviews "Combine Hine's ability to write off-kilter stories with his sharp, jagged art and you have one cool book." (Top five of the moment) — Dan Grendell, Comic Pants "It's great. The story is told in such a crisp, deliberate manner, you can't help but feel the weight and gravitas. — B. Schatz, Done-In-One Reviews "It's a beautifully paced story that gives you more than expected with the art... this book was as good as it gets in the industry." — Chris Murman, Line of Fire Reviews "By far one of the strangest books I've read in a while." — Rae Rae, Pop Syndicate "I found this first issue fascinating, and I'm looking forward to the subsequent books. — Roscoe Ellis, Roscoe's Comics & Culture "My favorite book of the week, and a complete surprise. Great art, great storytelling, great mood, and I have no idea what will happen next, but I can't wait to find out." — Dusto, BKV.TV forums "I don't remember ever reading a better first issue. Some amazing character development and a story that sucks you right in." — Krispin, CGS Podcast forums "Bought it, read it, loved it. Recomended reading." — daved and confused, CGS Podcast forums "For a grotesque, intricate and absorbing story told in words and pictures, a reader can hardly do better than David Hine's Strange Embrace. — Hodgson, Jack Faber "Sublimely creepy and atmospheric... also quite smart and surprisingly accomplished." — Marc Mason, Comics Waiting Room
