Moon Child 10
Posted: May 30, 2008 Filed under: Moon Child 2 Comments »The most romantic scene in the world occurs at the beginning of this volume. Any other series would’ve fallen flat on its face if a character had uttered “If I become female, I would like to lay your eggs,” but somehow, this set the mood even more here, and immediately afterwards things got even more steamy. Well, not steamy in a sexual way. Steamy in a romantic tension way. Something tells me I don’t want to have anything to do with the sorts of fish/human hybrid sex the characters may or may not have. Still, talk of spawning doesn’t ruin the romance, which is the mark of quality in my opinion.
It’s hard to talk about these volumes without spoiling them. I like them, and I would like to convey that in the most sincere way possible, but I can’t do that without discussing the plot details and ruining it for anyone who may be following along. The only other thing I feel comfortable talking about is Art, who may be one of the most frustrating male leads ever. I WANT Art and Benjamin/Jimmy to get together so bad. Benjamin wants this. Art wants this. Art just… he just stops himself. He stops himself from loving. It could be because he’s somehow superstitious or something. It could be because he’s lame. I don’t know. Either way, I’m angry with Art after the end of this volume. He’s going to need to pull off some real Boy Scout heroics to get back into my good books.
I am looking for the legend of the moonchild referred to by the band IronMaiden because i fear i am this moonchild and want to know where the lyrics derrived from.Please send me any info at myspace/erikthered9… Thanks..EriktheRed
Sorry, the comic doesn’t really have anything to do with… well, even any Japanese legend, really. I think most of the imagery in the Iron Maiden song is biblical, if that helps.
