The great art and colors by Andrea Mutti aren’t there just to make the gory scenes hit harder, but also to set the mood of the comic. I couldn’t stop reading it when I realized it wasn’t a story about random merciless killings, but one about how a disaster can suddenly become part of your life and ruin all your plans. That’s what makes Maniac of New York so interesting. So we finally realize that, for now, Harry is mostly just a force of nature in fact, we should drive our attention to the other characters and their realities. The comic states a lot of times that we need to keep moving on, the world won’t stop because we are scared, but at the same time, our biggest mistake is to pretend everything is normal. But Harry “just is” because his function is being an obstacle to people’s lives, he’s simply an element of our lives and there’s nothing we can do about it. Harry not only seems like a supernatural figure – a monster that can’t be stopped – he certainly is it’s hard not to be shaken when seeing the piles of bloody corpses left by him. The maniac isn’t something that gets solved. “Let me tell you what I told the last three folks who had your job. As the mayor inaugurates the city’s first automated subway train, Harry sets his sights on new targets. Together, forming a classic buddy-cop duo, they investigate how to deal with Harry and they better work fast because he has only started his killing spree. She asks for the help of Zelda Pettibone, a disgruntled officer with a fair share of past regrets.
But his role is also a bit different from the other characters mentioned.Īfter Harry killed 493 people and caused a massacre in Times Square, Gina Greene volunteers herself to be the new director of the Maniac Task Force. In our day and age, with so many sequels and remakes, everyone knows the basics of slasher flicks like Halloween and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, so – in a way – we are already familiar with Harry, our Jason-like serial killer. It already warns you the story will be filled with the kinds of violence and gory deaths characteristic of the slasher genre. Elliott Kalan and Andrea Mutti open up Maniac of New York: The Death Train with the above image.
