Book Reviews of Jellyfist
Book Review: THE ONLY REVIEW THAT MATTERS!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that Jenny Goldberg really did a great job on this book, too bad that Vasqueeze fellow drug her down with his mostly aweful writing. I mean a guy with a toaster in his head? Is that even writing? ..seems more like trying to fail if you ask me, and lets face it if you're reading this you are sorta asking me.
Also, Varsqueezin seemed to hog all the commentary giving Jenny only one or two lines on the page at times. Seems like he sort of talks to her instead of with her.
That said I like most of Jhonen Vasquez's work, and this return to darker comics is refreshing. I mean he went from Johnny then to Squee, then Filler bunny, then Zim. I thought Super Happy Hug Time Adventures was surely the next step on his quest for cuteness.
P.S. MORE SQUID!
Book Review: The Spoil of a Poor Man's Mind
Summary: 1 Stars
To be honest, I was already aware that JellyFist was not a seller. As if my friends telling me not to waste me money wasn't enough, I was willing to receive the book for free. It took only a few moments of scanning the pages that I realized this book was worse than I imagined.
The jokes weren't clever nor were they executed in a matter to make a decent excuse. As for the sexual jokes, they seemed more like desperate attempts to achieve the valuable goal of being "disturbing" than anything worth 8 dollars, let alone 2 cents. This comic book is nothing like Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Invader Zim, or any of Vasquez's past works. The only thing that can be compared between JTHM and JellyFist is the slow deterioration of Vasquez's work.
As far as Jenny Goldberg's partake in this mess, she did well on the artwork. Only the artwork. That was the only inviting thing about this piece. The witting is incoherent, and possibly only the deepest Vasquez fans might make sense out of this mindless dribble. If there is a reason of why you might buy the book for the conversations between Goldberg and Vasquez, then save your money. You can probably find something similar on the internet.
It can easily be summarized in what my friend told me, "I wouldn't be found dead reading that thing".
-For anyone who disagrees with me, I am a huge Vasquez fan. I find this kind of comic greatly disappointing. It's just my opinion.
Book Review: WRETCH,SPEW....HAHAHA? WRETCH,SPEW....EW!
Summary: 3 Stars
AH! EVEN WIERDER THAN FILLERBUNNY & REVENGE OF FILLERBUNNY! FOR THOSE WHO HAVE IMAGINATIONS JUST AS STRANGE AS JHONEN VASQUEZ & J. GOLDBERG! THESE TWO ARE TRULY STRANGE ARTISTS AND STORYTELLERS!
I WILL STICK WITH INVADER ZIM!
Book Review: disturbed
Summary: 4 Stars
Let me start out by saying that i did not make it entirely through this book because i bought it as a gift for my boyfriend and he took it back, but it is really freaking disturbing. Funny... but disturbing. Well, amusing maybe, i guess funny is the wrong word. i recomend it if you like kids with bees living in their skull and stuff (note that i gave it four stars).Book Review: idk what you guys are saying, its great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first stumbled into this in an old comic book store months ago, unfortunately that store is now out of business, well my friend bought it and we read the whole freakin thing in one seating. It was just too good, we loved reading the commentary. and after like two hours of going through it i finally looked to see who where the people who made it. Surprisingly enough it was Jhonen Vasquez and Jenny Goldberg. Me being a fan of Jhonen's and my friend loving the work of Jenny and owning some of her infamous buttons, it was just so pleasing. since the book belonged to the friend and since she forgot where she put it, i decided to finally buy it. And it was totally worth the nine bucks.
