Lastly, there's a lot of material surrounding Mama Hoodoo and her henchmen, and this strange... tree thing? The tree thing has pregnant women whose babies are ripped out of their bellies. I know that sounds horrible and gross, but there was so little room in the pages of this comic to depict this stuff that it actually looks benign in a cartoonish way. There was a lot of stuff that was depicted that way, cartoonish and blunt, forced in.
When I got to the fourth part I pretty much stopped reading. Roiling and contorting bodies, animals, ghosts, already-eaten animals popping out of animals, coupled with the final battle of Du Jour against Mama Hoodoo in a blood soaked stew... all of that just laid there on the page like -ironically- road kill.
