Summary: dark humor; rough but biting
Review: I loved this comic. I found it an absolute hoot, and would whole-heartedly recommend it. However, it's dark humor and somewhat rough presentation might not be to everyone's taste. Not sure? Here's a simple test. Rent Mel Gibson's 'Payback.' If you find yourself cracking up periodically, unable to explain your hilarity to any confused companions, I don't doubt that you will adore Poison Elves.

Review: If you're looking at getting a copy of Poison Elves: Requiem for an Elf because you're only familiar with Drew's comics at Sirius, than definitely buy this book. If you're looking to replace your copy that you've read time and time again until it was in nothing but tatters, I don't need to convince you, but for everyone else out there, you just have to own a copy of this book.Poison Elves follows the story of Lusiphur Amerellis Malache, a raven-haired elf that grew up on the streets. From an early age he learned how to fight, steal, and kill just to survive. Now 19 in elf years, or roughly 133 in human years, he's on the run from the law yet again. This graphic reprints the first six issues of I, Lusiphur which was Poison Elves original name. The first two comics are redone in prose form in this graphic. Don't skip over them. Drew is great with his prose and there's all sorts of good stuff in there. In Issue One and Two Lusiphur meets a villainous necromancer that captures the Elf, and ripps out Lusiphur's eye in order to raise the demon Six-Tell Amalah. Luse escapes and goes to the healer Lirilith, a beautiful elf that is his best friend, and she manages to heal him in just in time, because someone has to die, either Six-Tell Amalah or Lusiphur and the demon is immortal.... In book three Lusiphur is injured once more, and is crawling through the woods when a kindly old man takes him in and helps him heal. But nothing is as it ever appears in the Poison Elves world... In book 4 we first meet the blond elf Jace, or Jason. Pay attention to his cameo, he'll play a very important role later. This is also the first appearance of the Purple Marauder. He's far and away one of the best villains ever. You'll see what I mean Book 5 and 6 has Luce stealing a very powerful gem, not because he wants to, but because of a life debt years and years old... If you like you comics edgy, and filled with action, black comedy, and a kickin' good time than stop reading this and buy the book!

Review: This reprint of Drew Hayes' oringinal Mulehide Graphics Poison Elves series is quite well done. While those who are only familiar with his later works would see the trade paper back as crude and not well practiced, others will definately relish in all the history it has to offer. The later comics do hint at what is contained in the earlier issues, but it is best to read it here and get all the details in full black and white. Further, it is always enjoyable to see where a favorite comic started and how it has evolved to what it is today. That is probablly what makes this book most enjoyable.
