Comic Of The Week

Seriously effed up. That's really all there is to say about Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. A creation of Jhonen Vasquez of Invader Zim fame, JTHM centers on the titular Johnny C. who is a serial killer and mass murder, but all around good guy. Through Johnny, Vasquez explores various elements of our urban-blighted, post-consumerist hell (I think he has just lived in LA too long) that we call the US. Major themes are evil, urban life, Heaven and Hell, tenuousness of personal relationships.

Comic Of The Week: Suburban Glamour

I always viewed kids with imaginary friends as a little...well let's just say I thought they were EFFIN NUTS. I think the suburbs do it to you. Too much uniformity in your life, too much expectation to conformity; it's just not going to end well.

Now imagine if your imaginary friends show back up in your late teens, and it turns out they are harbingers of an even greater evil intent on the destruction of your small hamlet. Well evidently the protagonist of the story see this as a bad thing. Personally, if the suburb I grew up in were wiped off the map, I think I might have a hard time noticing/caring/putting down Mass Effect/blinking. Nevertheless, Suburban Glamour is a four-part mini series, issue two is due out in December. Check it.
