Well it’s out on blogs, especially Heidi McDonald’s The Beat.

Veronique Tanaka of Metronome that we published is in fact… Bryan Talbot. Yes, that Bryan of Luther Arkwright, The Tale of One Bad Rat (which I personally think is his magnum opus) and more recently Alice in Sunderland.

And of the Art of Bryan Talbot which we also published.

Turns out Heidi’s post is creating quite a controversy, JT Leroy has already been mentioned and two famous comics bloggers have knives drawn as we speak.

Haaaa, Bryan, you’re a genius, I luv ya. Except you could have given me some warning, ya know?

And if this makes you check out the very arresting work that is Metronome -and is absolutely unrecognizable as Bryan’s work, btw, that’s the REAL genius- then great! ‘Cause it’s another GN we’re very proud of having in our catalog. JT Tanaka or not.

Japan’s English language newspaper, The Daily Yomiuri, had some kind words on Metronome:

“Offers a surprisingly engaging story that, without the hindrance of language, anyone can understand. Tanaka makes good use of rythmn, themes and cadences to set the scene and mood.”
