It’s no secret-at least to readers of progarchy-that I’ve been following the career of Neil Peart very closely since the spring of 1981. If so-and, let’s pray this happens-the script is completely written, the scenes already storyboarded by Anderson, a true master of the art.
It’s possible the whole cycle might start over with the sequel.Īnd, if Rob Freedman is correct, CLOCKWORK ANGELS will probably grab the fancy of some Hollywood producer, direct, and acting talent, and it will be made into a major motion picture. Soon, there will be a sequel, CLOCKWORK LIVES, which Anderson has only recently happily finished with the equally happy blessing of Neil Peart. Now, however, CLOCKWORK ANGELS has come out from Anderson’s WordFire Press as THE COMIC SCRIPTS. These six issues, of course, will be released in graphic-novel form in the spring (April 2015) with, I’m guessing, an intro or conclusion by Peart. Then, it came out from BOOM! Studios in comic book form, illustrated by the extremely talented Nick Robles, over six issues. Then, it was a huge worldwide rock concert tour, a live album, and a live concert DVD. Then, it was a best-selling novel by Kevin J. In the beginning, CLOCKWORK ANGELS was an album by Rush (remember, though, the first two songs came out almost two full years before the album itself). And, why not? What a fascinating history. Well, ok, let me put this in active form, before my students yell “foul!” I, Brad, need to state two things before getting into this review.įirst, one could write a long and interesting article just about the convoluted and circuitous publishing history of CLOCKWORK ANGELS. Two things need to be stated before I even get into the heart of this review. Anderson, CLOCKWORK ANGELS: THE COMIC SCRIPTS (Monument, CO: Wordfire Press, 2014) from a story and lyrics by Neil Peart.īirzer rating: 10/10.
