Comic review: Winterworld #0- Wynn’s Tale- Beautiful Christian folk

Writer: Chuck Dixon
Artist: Tommy Lee Edwards
Publisher: IDW
Released: 4th March 2015

Winterworld ‘Wynn’s Tale’ is a book where Christians want to help, educate and protect the young. There are no twists, no nastiness, no hypocrisy, and no perversions. The Christian adults quote from scripture, give the children everything they need, including an appreciation for fairness and hard work, and when the children grow up they have the free-will to leave, and to spread the good word, to help others, or not, it’s their choice, nothing is forced.

The artwork is beautiful, laden with a sense of roughness, but the colouring resonates with the narrative themes. There is beauty in the roughness, a beauty to be appreciated, it’s up to the individual to see it, it’s exists, just as long as you look and want to see. Again, like the core moral message of the book, it’s there, nothing is forced, you are free to choose, free to appreciate it, or free to ignore it and instead focus on the harshness, the unreality within the reality itself.

I enjoyed the subtlety of this book, the sense of beauty, the lack of cynicism, the lack of nastiness, of spite, of hatred for humanity and distrust of the religious. It is a beautiful book, and I recommend that you get yourself a copy, sit in a warm, comfortable place, read, relax and enjoy.

Rating: 10/10 (Subtle, warm, poetic and kind)
