Song of Saya Complete Series (Issue 1-3) by Daniel Liatowitsch and Todd Ocvirk, art by Yair Herrera
Requirements: any CBR reader, 47.7MB, 39.5MB, 43.1MB
Overview: A young doctor’s promise is cut short when a car accident kills his parents and leaves him in need of experimental brain surgery. Josh finds his perceptions warping from between our established reality and a hellish landscape of organic, haemorrhaging structures and hideous physiognomies. Now confined to the hospital he once worked in, Josh is frequently visited by a beautiful woman named Saya, who claims to be looking for her father.
IDW’s new Lovecraftian horror series is based on Japanese video game/interactive novel Saya no Uta, transporting the premise to America. I wasn’t at all aware of this while reading Saya; supposedly writers Daniel Liatowitsch and Todd Ocvirk made several amendments that would sit better with Western readers when they translated the plot. The script itself feels surprisingly intimate, and is a notch above any of the more recent, recognisable videogame to comic adaptations.
Yair Herrera’s hazy digital paintings work perfectly for this title, adding an ethereal ambience to Joshua’s recollections. The unsettling visions – think buckets of blood and skinless abominations – which Josh experiences are also handled exceptionally, and are brief enough to prove genuinely chilling.
Anyone who’s seen Jacob’s Ladder may find themselves in all too familiar territory, but Song of Saya’s first issue is an atmospheric and memorable enough read. If you haven’t heard of the video game, don’t let that deter you – this intriguing new series stands up well enough on its own.
Genre: Fiction, Comics, Horror
First Issue:
Based on the Japanese smash-hit PC game, Song of Saya tells the story of Josh, a young doctor trying to recover from a near-fatal accident. When a nightmarish world threatens to drown out reality, Josh meets a mysterious girl named Saya who promises to take his pain away… if Josh agrees to help her in return.
Second Issue:
The story continues with Josh’s crippling pain held at bay by Saya’s touch. He now seeks answers to both of their questions: What is the nightmarish world that threatens to overcome Josh’s sanity? Once Josh discovers the horrifying conspiracy he’s been embroiled in, he realizes it may already be too late…
Third Issue:
In this stunning and heartbreaking conclusion, Josh and Saya track down the rogue doctors performing barbaric, experimental surgeries on human subjects... all in a quest to gain access to Saya's world. Josh and Saya's pledge to put a stop to it all culminates in a blood-soaked, mind-blowing finale in which they both pay the ultimate price.
