Se7en

(Zenescope, 2006–2007)
™ and ©2006 Zenescope Entertainment

The behind-the-scenes tale of the murders in the film Se7en leads off with the glutton whose death opens the investigations. Writer Raven Gregory tells both sides of the tale, with the killer stalking a man who has made food his God, and the obese man who views the trappings of his flesh as more demon than deity. In the midst of self-loathing and resolve to lose weight, the fat man picks food over fitness one final, fatal time.

It will be interesting to see if Gregory tries to humanize less sympathetic victims, like the greed or pride murders. Less convincing are John Doe’s musings on why his subject deserves to die. Of course, Doe is wrong, but here it’s difficult to see how he’s buying his own arguments. Tommy Castillo pencils beneath colors by Mark McNabb.
