Fun but really really stupid.
Also really horny for a book that's supposed to satire the bad girls era of comics?
I mean it could have been good. It could have talked about the issues with it, such as how it overexaggerated women's proportions etc. etc. instead it decides to talk about how its ok to draw the character nude or in bdsm gear? its like yeah you can do that thats fine but you could have at least made some points about how that era was bad its marked as SATIRE, satire is supposed to critisize and ridicule. This is a parody not satire. Its a fun silly book and has a simple plot to follow but it missed a golden opportunity to subvert expectations but eh this is fine i gues
Ennis' use of foul language and over the top violence has never hit me as necessary or much of anything other than to be violent and crass, this book struck me as shoving as much offence into its pages over story, the story isn't awful but the over the top use and frankly not necessary use breaks its compulsion
Sweet short book, I love the art especially. Simple story, captivating, however I found the choice of ending to be odd as opposed to a more conventional ending which may have fit the narrative better. There were also some aspects that felt tacked on, however I did enjoy my time with this and it's worth a read
One of my favourite books of all time. It truly paved the way for what the graphic novel could be
This book is so good, really interesting view of schizophrenia. Amazing that he wrote this for his son, and that he had his son help him write and share his experience to make this book.
It would have been higher if I were still shadowed by Moores gigantic self masturbatory ego, however, this story really encapsulates how often he sexually victimises his female characters for very mediocre plot points. Does it come from a place of misogyny?
