There be a old comic-book named Sandman, wrote by Neil Gaiman. Gaiman understood perfectly some of teh postmodernism codes when do this job. He wrote about a Death incarnates in a young nice-looking girl (that remember Siouxie from "Siouxsie and the banshees."), rewrote a large number of traditional fairy tales, and "humaniced" ancestral Gods like Ra or Wotan -in the way that you can go out for a drink with or meet theirs in a London bar at midnight.
And all of this things was great, specially when you are 16 (or 25 maybe). Maybe is lesser interesting when you are growing up, but Sandman is a great great piece of Comic-book History. Then Gaiman start to write books and he done the same thing that he was doing in his Comics: more postmodern Gods taking a beer in a club.
Well "Porpositional Player" is a Comic-book who try to imitate Gaiman's style. The worst of Gaiman's style: Gods taking a beer in a Las Vegas Casino, playing cards and the eternal (postmodern) struggle between God and Evil, incarnates in a Big fat Boy and a pretty girl. They fight for souls, of course, and the goods guys are not-so-goods guys. And the bad guys are not-so-bad guys. Well, nothing new under the (postmodern) sky.
Ah! And of course: "Porpositional Player" have got antropomorphical animal who drinks beer, smoke and says thinks very ingenious. And Angels who says things like poo, pee, and fuck.
Loose you time in other (postmodern) things. Like this, or this or this.
