The violence and the nudity are balanced out by a complex, David Lynch-type plot. It's not always easy to follow but definitely worth a second reading. The black and white art has a noir feel that I find refreshing. While I enjoyed the review here and felt it raised some fair points, I am troubled by the vagueness when it comes to naming the characters. “A man who is condemned to work in a secret government facility" is all we are told about the protagonist. Not his name (David Hanson) or his military background. In future reviews, I would like to hear more details, regardless of whether the review is positive or not. However, I may be biased as I am an unashamed fan of this series. It's Hostel for intellectuals with a splash of Lovecraft. Ministry is a rare treat.
