"HOW THE HELL DID A LEVIATHAN GET IN CITY SEWERS?" An important question — and there are few people I’d rather help me answer it than the Wu-Tang Clan’s Method Man. Luckily, Mr. Mef is addressing this very issue in the new graphic novel he’s written with David Atchison and artist Sanford Greene. Titled simply Method Man, it won’t be on sale ’til July. But I’m lucky enough to have an eight-page excerpt sitting in front of me right now, and — well, let me just see if I can communicate a small taste of its awesomeness to you.
Okay, so, there’s an evil sea monster dwelling in the underground sewer system of "One Bad Ghetto, USA." And man, did that thing pick the wrong kung-fu-obsessed rapper to mess with. In the excerpt, Method Man — er, his thinly veiled alter ego, mystical detective/"murder priest" Mosley Paine — accidentally discovers it swimming around. (This would be when he produces the exclamation that opened this post.) Paine pumps a few bullets into the beast… and then the excerpt cuts off. Right in the middle of the action!
Now I’m fiending to read the rest of the story, not to mention the separate graphic novels that Wu brothers GZA and Ghostface Killah are reportedly working on as well. Who’s with me? And is it too much for me to ask that Meth record a new tune to soundtrack his monster-slaying adventures — a RZA-produced epic sampling Radiohead’s "Fog" (a.k.a. "Alligators in New York Sewers"), perchance?

So they’re comic books.
Looks suspiciously like the beasties from “Beowulf”
best radiohead song ever
David Atchison is full of awesomeness. If you are not a follower, you’re missing out.

I recently met Mr. Atchison and I’ve followed his most recent work and I have to say I’ve been extremely impressed and of course as a music lover WuTang was always one of the greatest as well as Method Man.
Neat!

From the musing and creations of the OCT TO MISTA MEF, David has a vision you might want to focus on. Cant wait for the book to drop, its all I need to get by.
It should be a hot book. Mr. Atchison is great at high concept and action. He flipped the procedural drama by mixing it with occult and noir for the OCT, and I think this book is going to be a lot of fun. Method Man + Monsters + Sanford Greene art. Come on! What else do you need besides a hot soundtrack!? (fingers crossed!)
can’t wait for this to drop. I have great faith in the creative team behind this. David, Meth and Sanford are gonna rock the house.
I saw this on GlobalGrind.com and I think it’s an AWESOME idea for Method Man & the rest of the Wu to make some sick comic books.
Atch and Meth, Hell Yeah!
