BONUS REVIEW by Shawn
The first issue of this book hurt my eyes. Since #1 was probably drawn sometime before Y2K, I thought I'd give it another try. It will no doubt send may readers racing for the nearest Vomitorium, but I'm starting to like it. It's taken on what I can only call an Expressionistic turn. The "Has Frank had an aneurysm?" scratching has been replaced with...something else. Before it seemed like there wasn't an eraser to be found in Miller's house, now I think he's just decided to not use one. It is, at the very least, different than anything else on the very crowded racks. Highly recommended for anybody that didn't like Holy Terror because nobody should like Holy Terror, those who have a vague remembrance of 300 and can let things go, and fans of Picasso's Guernica. I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
