Patrick Fillion

Deimos is a seriously sexy demon who is seeking redemption. I’m a bit of a geek for the paranormal and liked the plot and characterization hugely. Boys who have wings, a very cool sentient weapon Grinn Reaper, which comes in many disguises (like a handy cock ring) and, of course, the lickable Sethan all made for an engaging read. The latter part of the comic with the rather scary Bob and his even scarier cock, gave me a few ZOMG moments (That thing is heouge!) and towards the end there is bit of back story for Billy Zambu who is shaping up into an interesting character.This is definitely a comic that lays the ground work for more issues, without being too much of an info dump and I was certainly left wanting more (which was probably the authors intention!!). I’ve been having a nosey at Deimos #1 which was also written by Patrick Fillion, with Logan illustrating. (Logan has a very cool blog – but I struggle with the French. heh.) His work is gorgeous, but Deimos certainly looks a little different and I am kinda crushing just a little on Deimos #0 at the moment. Deimos was beautifully drawn and incredibly sexy. Tall with a kind of loose limbed grace and musculature that I find rather appealing. And, a beard. *sigh* There was not too much drool on the keyboard, honest… O-o Because I got the Class Digital version there are a few extras in the back like character bios and concept sketches, which were very cool and added a great to my reading. I like extra bits! Much, much satisfaction and cool paranormal smex. More please. http://sharrow.wordpress.com/2009/05/16/deimos-0-by-patrick-fillion/… (mais)

Zahn is a barbarian who lives in a small village called Mazudun in the land of Varda. As men are want to do, he sets off on a vision quest to seek his destiny. Several weeks into his journey he is attacked on a mountain top by a clan of vicious harpy men (who did look very pretty I must say). He fights back but during the battle he slips and looses his balance on a cliff face and falls. A blue man appears and saves him but this is all he remembers, until a year later when he is suddenly on the mountain again. Now though, he is dressed as a warrior complete with brand spanking new weapon, cape and looking delicious – but with a touch of amnesia. You’d think things might be a little more smooth sailing from here for our gorgeous wild man Zahn, but his run of bad luck is not quite over yet! He is waylaid by the brutish Almesti and has to suffer more err… trials (OMG!) before his new powers make themselves known in the most interesting ways…This comic was seriously cool. The story has a lot going on because it’s the 1st issue so plenty of world building, back story and scene setting. It is not to the point of an info dump though and you really get the essence of who Zahn is as a character. New to the hero game he needs a bit of a shake up to take on his powers initially but once he gets going he kicks ass. He is seriously sexy and there is this hint of sweetness in him which appealed to me immensely. The love interest, Jonah is terribly smooth, and a dancer so he’s athletic and kinda bendy. Merow. And, finally Maymay who has been enchanted and is in the form of a cat. Whenever they’re in danger she goes back to her original form and turns into a feisty sidekick . She was wicked. There is this one scene with her fighting off a nasty beast with tentacles and she almost feels a little like a manga character with her pigtails and elaborate clothing.Patrick’s art is not only gorgeous but clever too as is the colour both he and Hernan did. They have both got an eye for what looks good and it is beautiful! There are a few pages that appealed to me in particular; the Harpy men, Maymay’s fight, when Jonah welcomes Zahn back with a seriously hot night at the inn and there was one page near the end that I thought was just wicked. It encapsulates several weeks of Zahn’s journey on one page. In each panel Zahn is fighting off a different nasty; so very cool. Of course the comic is also super sexy although the Almesti made my eyebrows nearly climb into my hairline. hehe. The scene’s between Jonah and Zahn are hot and appealed to my inner grub. And, was it just me or does Zahn have the sexiest ass? Merow. The little demons were rather fetching also, which was odd as they were the bad guys. Go figure. And, I definitely want to see more of the mysterious Blue Man.This is such a great comic and one I have now read several times. I will not even pretend to know the whole story line of Masters of the Universe but color me Conan – that I get. Conan movies in particular featured very high on the video watch list of my friends and I back in the day (Video you say? So old!! Ufff!). I swear I had the biggest crush and I also watched more Commando that you can shake a stick at. Which has very little to do with the beautiful art of Buscema and Alcala, I know! He was just so big and… well, BIG. The Conan comics can be checked out here. The art and story are tight and it was a total pleasure to read. If you’d like to get this goodness yourself you can check it out here at Class Comics. Also have a look at Patrick’s very cool online magazine Boytoons and have a nosey at an interview with him too, done by moi!http://sharrow.wordpress.com/2008/11/23/zahn-by-patrick-fillion/… (mais)

The Deimos series is described as a dark, gothic and sexy series. And that´s about dead-on. Deimos was one of Luzifer´s followers from the day on when Luzifer was cast from Heaven by God himself. But lately he has begun to feel remorse for his evil deeds and he now longs for forgiveness from Heaven. But as Heaven and Hell are at war with each other, Deimos has to work for his forgiveness and his wings by combating the forces of Hell on Earth in the name of Heaven. But Luzifer is not willing to let one of his best generals go and so all the forces of Hell will stop at nothing to keep Deimos from achieving his goal!

When Patrick Fillion and Logan combine their efforts to create a comic, the result is destined to be brilliant ... and it is! The story, written by Patrick Fillion, with it´s wicked demons and beautiful angels ist superb. As is the quality of the illustrations, which for this volume were made by Logan. Very, very good. The art of Logan is unmistakable and I was at once reminded of "The Pornomicon", another one of Logan´s great comics.

You´ll also notice the unique style of Logan when you compare Deimos #1 with Deimos #0, which was illustrated by Patrick Fillion. In Deimos #0 the demon Deimos appears to be younger and in Deimos #1 by comparison the looks a little bit older and more "bearish". But both versions of Deimos are fantastic just like the rest of both comics.

BUT I strongly recommend reading volume #0 and #1 in one session. Deimos #0 is very important if you want to understand the motivations of all the characters in Deimos #1. You may still be able to appreciate the quality of the story and the drawings of Deimos #1, but some things will definitely leave you confused if you haven´t prior read Deimos #0.

This comic has a color cover and a full color interior.… (mais)

Ok, this comic is pretty much a prequel to a bigger story, as you may have guessed from the volume number. It features three short stories (one in full color and the other two in black and white) and full page character profiles for the six key players in this comic series. The stories are good and the drawings are again superb, as you would expect from Patrick Fillion´s work.

BUT I strongly recommend reading volume #0 and #1 in one session. Deimos #0 is very important if you want to understand the motivations of all the characters in Deimos #1, but the three stories in Deimos #0 on their own will leave quite unsatisfied, even though they are very good. That´s simply in the nature of a prequel.

This comic has a color cover and a partly full color and partly black and white interior.… (mais)
