Anansi Boys # 3 Writer: Neil Gaiman, Marc Bernardin Artist: Shawn Martinbrough Colorist: Chris Sotomayor Letterer: Jim Campbell Cover Artist: David Mack
Anansi Boys #3 is the third issue adapting the marvelous Anansi Boys into graphic form. In it, we meet Fat Charlie, a shy young man who is by no means fat, his fiancée (whom he has barely kissed until they get married sometime soon), his mother-in-law, and his boss.
However, Fat Charlie’s father was a god, and now that he has passed away, things start to get interesting. Because Fat Charlie has a brother called Spider, the one who has inherited all the godly charm from their father, one he thought was a reflection, a figment of his imagination.
To contact him, all he has to do is tell a spider. Nonsense!
However, one drunken night, he does tell a spider to check on his brother, and then he has a bizarre dream…
And, he wakes up to the thunder of knocking on his door, because Spider does exist, and has decided to come and pay him a visit.

Important note: Neil Gaiman is facing some serious accusations and has disappeared from social media for now. I wonder if he is going the Warren Ellis way, which I found better than total cancellation.
