Book Review: A let down!!
Summary: 2 Stars
I love Jhonen Vasquez, but I was very disapointed in this book. It seems like he was just trying to put a product out no matter what the quality. 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: Poop, bees, and zombie hobos
Summary: 4 Stars
Well its been a while since Jhonen Vasquez has made a comic and after reading the book it was well worth the wait. Vasquez and Goldberg have delivered a mindless yet inventive short comics packaged in a 54 page book. Vasquez creates the stories while Goldberg draws the visuals. The stories themseleves are very random and while some are ridiculusly funny others are strange to the point were you sit puzzled thinking "...huh?" If your a fan of JTHM, Squee, or Invader Zim you will understand Jhonens spontaniously random sense of humor that he hasnt lost throughout the book. Surprisingly there is allot of sexual humor, something that Jhonen strayed away from in all of his other work. But breaking down that wall he will make you think of some sexual acts in ways you never wouldve concieved in your mind before. In conclusion if you like Vasquezs previous work you will dig this book.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: Skip this one.
Summary: 1 Stars
Alas, Jhonen missed on this one. Most of the commentary on the side of the book is interesting... though the majority of it is the writer complaining about work. That's... not a good sign. There is one amazing comic featuring what frat boys do best, but aside from this, the comics come up dry. This is incredibly sad to say, because Mr. Vasquez' mind is great... absurd, intelligent, and ready for social commentary. Unfortunately, it mostly misses the mark - you WISH you could laugh (or recoil) from the brilliance, but, except for a few (the hobo comic the other reviewers reference, for instance), it leaves you with an "eh" feeling. Might as well skip this one.
