Robert Sam Anson (born 1945) is an American journalist and author. ![]() ![]() ![]() Pullman’s title, for example, is drawn directly from line 916 of Book Two of Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” and the entire trilogy is, in fact, an inversion of that great work. Lewis’ “Space Trilogy” - sophisticated enough to hold adult attention. Though originally marketed to young adults, it’s one of those works - rather like Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” or C.S. ![]() Pullman’s masterpiece - the trilogy “His Dark Materials” - is an elaborate, elegant work of fantasy that runs through parallel universes and involves an affirmation of the physical world’s everyday joys played out against a deadly struggle for freedom with a sinister religious establishment called the Magisterium. ![]() When he is, however, it won’t be for his new novel, “The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ,” which is a polemical fable every bit as wrong-headedly obvious as the title suggests.

Now what I just said about Ares can be applied to so many characters Bendis has written, Sentry is just a crazy insane guy, Noh Varr is just some teenage alien kid, Ms Marvel is there to be a punch line for fat jokes, Luke Cage is all about being a daddy oh and all the characters become quippy as well. Not necessarily inherently bad, but one character has more depth and complexity than the other, and the other one is probably more accessible to casual fans of comics. So say a character like Ares who was written as a deep and complicated badass character, under Bendis sort of becomes a character that will act like a macho bruiser and make jokes about killing and woman. He can tend to write characters one dimensionally, but he will employ friend banter type dialogue to create a sort of artificial depth. ![]() ![]() ![]() They re-emerge, like dark thoughts, multiplying and threatening to destroy what Joe wants most: truelove. ![]() The problem with hidden bodies is that they don't always stay that way. But while others seem fixated on their own reflections, Joe can't stop looking over his shoulder. He eats guac, works in a bookstore, and flirts with a journalist neighbor. In Hollywood, Joe blends in effortlessly with the other young upstarts. Now he's heading west to Los Angeles, the city of second chances, determined to put his past behind him. In the past ten years, this thirty-something has buried four of them, collateral damage in his quest for love. Joe Goldberg is no stranger to hiding bodies. Hidden Bodies marks the return of a voice that Stephen King described as original and hypnotic, and through the divisive and charmingly sociopathic character of Joe Goldberg, Kepnes satirizes and dissects our culture, blending suspense with scathing wit.
