Saint Germaine: Shadows Fall

By Gary Reed

The compelling saga of a man who lives forever. Germaine pulls the memories of those about to die and binds them into his own. He is a blend of memories and his own mind is a history of mankind. Germaine can claim immortality yet he has died a thousand deaths. He has traversed the paths of mankind for untold years with his companion, Lilith. But Lilith's disappearance and the perils of the modern world direct him to undertake a new quest - to surrender his immortality. This is the introductory story of Saint Germaine and collects the Saint Germaine comic series, issues 1-4 plus a bonus story - 'The Tragedy of Falstaff', based on the character created by William Shakespeare.

Fascinating and Intelligent

Saint Germaine is a man who lives forever and he is an amalgate of many people that have lived before as he takes the memories of those dying. This allows the writer, Gary Reed, to cover quite a bit of historical ground as he reaches into the past to pull out some compelling reading. Topics such as The Crusades, the Nazi concentration camps, the life of Franz Kafka, the Salem Witch trials...all blend seamlessly into this narration. And Saint Germaine isnt't the only one. He has his long time companion, Lilith who also does the same. These two are now opposed to each other so it makes for some great reading. this is just a fantastic story and I'm looking for some of the other issues since this only has five issues in it. I found one dealing with Casanova and another with The Man in the Iron Mask and those are equally as good. In an interview, someone compared Saint Germaine and Gary Reed to Sandman and Neil Gaiman. They're not the same, but they're equally as good. Saint Germaine is a must read and I'll be sure to be look for anything else by Gary Reed...he's my new favorite writer.
