Klint Finley from sewermutant.com talks to David Quinn
“Faust: Love of the Damned co-creator David Quinn is back this July with The Addiction, his first new comics work published since the final issue of Faust in 2012. Quinn is joined for this crime/horror/superhero/food series by co-creator/co-writer Vincent Zurzolo (co-owner of Metropolis Collectibles) and Claudia Balboni (known for Killer Queens from Dark Horse).
The Addiction follows Dr. Niki Tino, who has the power to drug anyone with a touch. Drug them with what? Anything she wants, apparently, from morphine to aspirin. She tries to use her power for good and to fight addiction, but a lot of people want to get ahold of her blood to use it to turn a profit.
If you were looking for Faust 2, this isn’t it. As far as I’m concerned that’s a good thing. If you liked Faust, there are still things I think you’ll like about this. And if you didn’t like Faust, or stayed clear of it because its reputation for extreme gore and violent sex, you might find The Addiction more inviting.
The first issue begins straight-forwardly enough, with Niki escaping from a Cartel in Mexico. So far, so Sicario. But by the end the action dissolves into Quinn-esque fever dream madness. But the second issue is where things really take turn with the introduction of a pair of candy-themed villains that feel like they might be a hallucination. The heart of the book, however, is Niki’s relationship with her boyfriend Enzo, and their shared relationship to food.”
