Johnny the Homicidal Maniac

review 1: I read very few comics. This one was well worth it.My love for Invader Zim is what got me curious in Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. Jhonen Vasquez has a very dark and absurd sense of humor that pushed the boundaries of children's television. But in the pages of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, there are no boundaries and it is definitely not meant for children. Aside from the morbid humor of torture and death, the comic holds a lot of social commentary and introspective monologues on human nature. It was a bit of a lopsided balance of a lot of strange and a little contemplative.I ended up investing in the full Director's Cut of the series and was not disappointed.
review 2: Though I absolutely loved this comic, it is definetly not for everyone. I, personally, love da... morerk humor and Johnny's random outburst and actions- while other people may (and do) find my amusement in this atrocious. I love the contrast of the silliness at times to the deep, almost philosophical pondering of Johnny's- making you feel as if you're being taken along for the crazy ride, yourself. All in all, a good read for those who aren't that squeamish. less
