Product Description
Born to a young woman driven to insanity and black magic by the deaths of her previous children, the 13th Son is a creature like nothing this world has seen before. Humans are not his target. It's the other monsters who walk this world - the wendigo, werewolves, ghouls, zombies and vampires - who live in fear of his enormous and terrifying powers. And what those powers are setting into motion is a horror beyond your deepest, darkest nightmares.

 | Love for Kelley Jones Dec 31, 2007 |
I've been a huge Kelley Jones fan ever since he worked on Deadman for DC Comics back in the late 80's. Jones understands what makes a good monster tale and it's always a treat for me to see his art. The tale opens with a group of monsters sitting around and basically telling a campfire tale of the one thing they fear more than anything else...The 13th Son! The monster that hunts monsters! Some think that his existence is merely a monster urban legend but they soon find out how wrong they are as the 13th Son pounces on them, tearing them apart almost effortlessly. Then the creature gets a visitor...an animated skeleton who informs him that his "mother" wishes to see him. There's no love lost between mother and son, as the old crone demands he love her like a true son and the monster wants nothing to do with her. The monster's background is recounted...In the late 1600's, A Puritan woman and her husband tried to have children, yet each child failed to survive. Then, finally, the 13th child lived, a misshapen creature that her husband sought to drown. She killed her husband to protect her baby but later cursed him when he left and now seeks revenge by conjuring up another son to destroy him. His father Elijah crawls out of the muck, a rotting corpse, but bent on retribution against his wife. The 13th Son and his own wife our now set to give birth to their own child...the 13th son of a 13th son!
With the possible exception of Berni Wrightson, Jones renders the most ghoulish hell spawned creatures in comics today. His heavy inking style and use of colors is always perfectly suited for horrific subject matter, and I love how his style accentuates the muscles and anatomy of his characters. There are literally dozens of creatures trampling through the forest to destroy the 13th Son and no two look alike. It's not a great story in terms of the plot but it's a lot of fun and anything by Jones is OK in my book.

| | | | Excellent read Dec 17, 2007 |
| This was an excellent graphic novel. The artistry was fantastic and the story line original. At times, the story was somewhat vague and left the reader to their imagination. I would like to see more of the 13th son. Buy this book! | | | Write your own review about 13th Son: Worse Thing Waiting
