Luminous Beings

by David Arnold; ill. Jose Pimienta; colours by C. A. P. Ward (Viking, 2024)

A quiet friendship tale, comfortable in its own quirkiness and unfolding unobtrusively in the midst of a squirrel apocalypse. The text and illustrations afford plenty of space for silence (thence contemplation, self-realisation). Ward near-weaponises the violet spectrum as an extra, spec-suggestive overlay.

Good Omens (2019)

Good Omens

created by Neil Gaiman (Amazon Prime, 2019)

Good Omens is slow to find focus, following the madcap novel perhaps a bit too faithfully and blossoming only with episode three’s shift in emphasis to Azariphale and Crowley’s relationship. Nonetheless a gleefully irreverent miniseries, buoyed by David Arnold’s main title theme.
