Possessed by the Rise of Magik: Chris Cilla's Heavy Hand reviewed on The Comics Journal

 
Over at the Comics Journal they have a thorough and thoughtful review of Chris Cilla's the Heavy Hand, in which Rob Clough compares Chris to a turntablist: "Cilla finds every kind of storytelling convention totally interchangeable and mixes them with the elegance of a DJ or a producer creating new sounds from old. Cilla plays with the reader’s reified understanding of genre conventions to allow the text involved in such conventions to create that immersive environment that allows the reader to experience the comic in a hermeneutic fashion."
