Fans of David Lapham’s horror comics know you can expect him to spin a tale that gets under your skin. ?In some cases like Ferals and Caligula, it’s more literal than others. ?This week saw the release of Caligula: Heart of Rome #5 in comic shops. ?The Caligula sequel has quietly continued in the tradition Lapham set forth of making the most disturbing images possible.
Lapham’s Caligula is one part historical figure, two parts supernatural possession story, and all twisted. ?The demons that surround Caligula, as he strives to be reborn into Rome after the events of the first series, are more twisted and ruthless than the most vile human. ?And the monsters created by those who have suffered Caligula’s wrath are even more frightening still.
If you want to try something different – reach for?Caligula: Heart of Rome?at the comic shop this week. ?It will unsettle you and give you something completely original to be afraid of.
