really liked it
bookshelves: comics-read-in-2016

The first half of this collection was kind of twisted... but still quite funny. It was a delicate balancing act of hubris and eros... or possibly bathos and... Thanos? No, that's not right, either, damnit.

Anyway, the second half gave up the darker edge and just turned into a bunch of one-shot, one-joke romps. How much you enjoy this book will depend on how much you dig that kind of guff.

Is this really a four star general book? Eh, prob'ly not, but giving it less felt like kicking a puppy who just wants to love you SO VERY VERY MUCH! Call it the last few dregs of my Christmas spirit.

Trish Bwahahaha. Well, considering how much I liked the volume Groot, I'm thinking of giving this a chance as well. How's the art?


Paul Oh, it's good. Skottie only seems to work with other good cartoonists.


Trish Hm ... well, I think I have another new comic on my TBR for 2017.
