Multiple warheads. Book 1, Alphabet to infinity /

Organ-smuggler Sexica lives with her mechanic boyfriend, Nikoli, who is part werewolf, thanks to a salacious bit of surgery. After their apartment in Dead City is destroyed by a falling spaceship, they leave settled life behind, get in the car, and travel across the wasteland of the future, sure that they need nothing but each other. Graham's first comic has long been out of print, but Image rectifies that with new editions collecting every issue. There is a lot here for fans of odd stories to enjoy, but don't expect a linear plot. Graham's stories are random snapshots of life on the road, interspersed with the adventures of Nura, another smuggler. His highly detailed, offbeat art ties everything together. Like he does with the nonlinear plot, he eschews ordinary panels, allowing the illustrations to tumble over themselves excitedly. Readers will want to savor the myriad details and silly puns. Though Graham has some older teen appeal, a particularly graphic sex scene at the end of the book makes this one for adults only.--Wildsmith, Snow Copyright 2014 Booklist

Complete Multiple Warheads is set in a world where water can be haunted, cigarettes sing, and slug-like creatures are harnessed to provide guilt-free power. The main character is an organ hunter named Sexica who is determined to start a new life with her werewolf boyfriend in the Impossible City after one of World War III's abandoned aircraft comes hurtling down from the sky and destroys their apartment. Meanwhile, another organ hunter named Nura is chasing a life form who is able to regrow organs and who is the ultimate catch but who also has a definite taste for melodrama and is not going to make things easy. Just like the story, the art is deceptively simple blending. Both line and shading are clean and subtle, but landscapes and perspectives are constantly shifting making the action sometimes difficult to follow. The cleverness of the writing, the sheer number of puns, and the hidden sight gags encourage readers to revisit this highly original book again and again. It's like Alan Martin's Tank Girl in the hands of R. Crumb. Verdict This decidedly adult book will appeal to readers who are looking for something very different but may leave those expecting a standard sf dystopia wondering what just happened.-E.W.
