Each of the characters are unique and the world is expertly realised albeit it’s a world where we have a bear and a badger as drummers. I would almost agree with that myself Ahonen’s art was the main draw for me, I think he is a world-class talent. The main storyline was over-familiar and he said he would have preferred it if the book had no words at all. Jake thought the band Perkeros were likely crap musicians and had no charm. Sadly, the rest of us felt spoilt by the opening. He said to him the book was everything Hip-Hop Family tree had been to Jake. Dan was transfixed and transported- like a mad teeth-gritted five-day speed fix, sweating in the moshpit of a Birmingham club. The book begins with a terrific gig scene, an explosion of metal you can feel through the pages.
When I realised he had a wealth of comic art under his belt I immediately ordered the only one in the English language and it then waited over half a year for my next turn at picking. He had drawn chibi Metalhead comic strips and I loved them so much I had to see what else he had done. I discovered Ahonen during Inktober (the annual October drawing challenge begun a few years ago by Jake Parker). This story of a metal group’s attempt to make it in a battle-of-the-bands scenario divided our members once more and showed how our personal experiences and tastes have a significant impact on what we like to read. With a face melting power chord, our first year of comicbooks is wrapped up by Sing No Evil (or Perkeros to give its original name), a Finnish OGN by creators JP Ahonen & KP Alare.
