Review
"* "I really have no idea what Faker is going to become... but whatever it is, it'll be blazing a new trail, it will be relentless, and I will be reading it. You should be too." - BinaryCulture.net * "...Carey's story telling charisma and Jock's beautiful drawing, this is something you can't miss!" Comic-Art.org * "An entertaining read" - PulpFictionOnline"

Product Description
Memories are strange things. For one group of disaffected, drugged-out college students, they're about to become stranger - maybe, even, to become a stranger!Jessie, Marky, 'Sack' and Yvonne - four college friends with dark secrets hidden from one another - try a new drug, "Angel's Kiss", after a wild party. The next morning they wake up with hangovers and memories of bad dreams, but fortunately, their friend Nick Philo is there to comfort them all. There's just one wrinkle: Nick Philo doesn't exist...Acclaimed writer Mike Carey ("Lucifer", "Crossing Midnight") and white-hot artist Jock ("The Losers", "Green Arrow: Year One") present a trippy, edgy tale of sex and violence, memory and madness!

5.0 out of 5 stars remember me, 27 Mar 2008
By Paul Tapner (poole dorset england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Faker (Paperback)
A collection of a six issue comic mini series from vertigo comics. Strictly for adults only as a result.

This is a story complete in six issues, and it tells about a group of students in america. after a wild night of partying, they wake to find that absolutely nobody remembers one of their number. What has happened and why?

The truth is stranger than you can imagine. and raises interesting questions about the nature of memory...

an excellent read. Well drawn main characters, a plot that twists and turns and surprises and keeps going to a clever final page. The artwork from jock is stylish and eye catching. And the writing even gets past the fact that one of the main characters, a girl called jessie, is a rather nasty piece of work. she's still a compelling character anyway, and that's a good feat of writing.

A very good comic series and a very good read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Moderate, 8 Jun 2009
A well-written comic, typical of the vertigo style. The quality of the illustration and colouring is as expected very high, but I felt the scenario suffered. I felt it appealed a little too much to an American audience and couldn't empathize with the protagonists. There's too much of a "we all screw each other for our selfish reasons, life is a bitch, deal with it" vibe through it all.

Not bad, but deffinitely not memorable.
