really liked it

I was kind of overwhelmed with the detail in the beginning, but I really got into it, especially when I found out it was supposed to be funny. (Is something funny if you have to be told it is?) There's some very serious moments too though. The detailed art is great; I've never heard of Gene Ha. I don't pretend to understand all the comic book easter eggs in the background. This volume is fairly dense and dialog heavy with smaller panels, maybe like the Gotham Central series. I think it's a good thing. It probably took me a good 5 hours to read all 12 issues. There was also some genuinely suspenseful moments. Lots of diverse and very human (and some bizarre) characters. From all of Alan Moore's works, I actually like this and Neonomicon the best. It just got reprinted and showed up in my bookstore.

One more thing. I liked this bit where 2 or 3 different plots happen at once, and literally pass themselves in the police station hallways. There was quite a feeling of "verisimilitude", to use a high school word.

David Sven Very funny review! If that helps anyone...

Eric Mesa I like how it's making fun of all the comic book tropes at once without becoming an annoying parody - it's telling its own story on top of all the trope deconstruction.


Tamahome You made it funny.


Tamahome I liked the "Secret Wars" part.
