This is worse than when I lived in Chicago and the Mexicans downstairs burned their crack on the stove.

published by Image Comics Script by Brett Lewis Art by Sami Basri "Inspired by the ideas and lyrics of Fall Out Boy." Yeah, let's go go through that sentence again. "Inspired by the ideas and lyrics of Fall Out Boy." Fuck me. I don't like Fall Out Boy, do you like Fall Out Boy? Do you even know anyone that likes Fall Out Boy? Fucking hell. So, obvious bias against the existence of this comic aside, what is Fall Out Toy Works? Well if I read what I think I just read, Fall Out Toy Works is a retelling of Pinocchio where Pinocchio is a girl robot named Tiffany and she wants become human so that she and Gepetto can make sweet sweet love. The Toymaker is totally into it though so it's all good. Out of everything I've read this week, this was the most insane. It's also the most incomprehensible. The issue begins with the Toymaker dreaming about robot sex with Tiffany and he wakes up in bed with some woman speaking in a difficult to understand broken English and it just spirals downward from there. I'm not exactly sure dialogue for the first half of the book is all in the proper order it reads so horribly. The second half of the book tightens up a bit but the comic never becomes anything less than a failed attempt to convey a bad acid trip. The art in stand alone pieces is actually pretty cool. As a sequential work it's only a limited success. Colorist Jessica Kholinne seems to carry the book for the most part as her colors create a vibrant world to look at. Story: 1 Art: 6.5 Overall: 2 |

It was bad enough, I probably didn't even need to declare a bias. Has anyone else subjected themselves to that book?

I still don't know who they are they. Some dude mentioned in one of their songs wrote a book and came through the shop on a book tour and I pretended I knew who they were. Oh yeah, this guy:
He drew a decent crowd, I was a bit surprised. |

published by Soleil/Marvel Comics Story by Frederic Brremaud Art by Giovanni Rigano This was my first Soliel comic. Even though I know the page count is more than double that of a standard US comic, $5.99 just seems like an awful lot for a single issue. Or I guess I should say it seemed like an awful lot. This is a lot of comic book. This was so much comic book, eventually I felt a bit overwhelmed. While this does have a recap page, it read more like a refresher for those who have read the first issue than a introduction for those who hadn't. Nevertheless, initially I was quite drawn in to this comic. It begins with the origin for one of the secondary characters and it is told in a storybook fashion. I found that I was completely immersed until it shifted into the meat of the story which is some kind of vampire war. In this instance the length of the comic was a detriment as the longer it went the more disinterested I became. While it's possible the translation is at fault, the dialogue throughout the comic was very flat. The art however was an amazing experience from cover to cover. The book has a style to it that I found to be very exciting. Even though I was quite bored with the story, I enjoyed the art throughout. Story: 5 Art: 10 Overall: 5.99 |

I was on their website earlier and toyed with the idea of asking them for a review copy, but I don't really want to review it if I can't call it furry porn. 
I might call around tomorrow before I go to lunch and see if any of the shops around my office have it. If not, I'll just order it from Antarctic's website and review it when it gets here. |
