(OT) Eerie, disturbing, very cool piece of media

I found this comic strip a bit ago - It's very surreal, and although from a critical perspective it's lacking, it sucks you in mercilessly. It's very intense, very interesting, and addictive as crack. If you liked Hitman, Spawn, or any similarly gritty piece of comic art, check out Jack.

Be warned - It's an acquired taste, like dangerously intense hot sauce. It burns, but it's a good burn. And start at the 1st comic or it will make exactly no sense.

the "office" story was really upsetting.

EDIT: Through with it.
Now I need a loong break.

Glee! Glad I could share the profound Bummer that is Jack. It was a very powerful comic for me, as it talks about a lot of the ethical dilemmas surrounding the concept of Hell that I was always bothered by. It actually inspired me to start writing again - I should have finished my novella in a couple of months. Look for it on his site around then.

Past that, to bring this thread semi-related to D&D, what in the Jack setting do you think could be used for D&D?

Wow. This is really good. Excelent writing. Very sureal, but very down to earth at the same time.
