James DiGiovanna,
I don’t usually post comics to Goodreads but this was amazing。 Really great when read day to day as he posted it and surprisingly even better when collected。 Takes a bit to kick in but once the “Anus King” sections start it’s on fire
Daniel Mossop,
I feel like the person who gave this one star had no idea what they were reading and doesn’t get what it’s about。
Cosmo,
A poignant and revolting masterwork。 A perfect encapsulation of a micro-dark age。 Ideally, no other art from the year 2020 will survive and this will be the only historical document available for future scholars。
Ernie,
My introduction to Megg, Mogg, Owl and WWJ, and one of the high points of 2020。 Excess, absurdism, squalor, heinousness, and vulnerability captured with aplomb。 Stoked to binge it in one go。
Kathy Ryan,
Couldn't read it。 Got too gross。 Can't believe anyone would find this entertaining。 Couldn't read it。 Got too gross。 Can't believe anyone would find this entertaining。 。。。more
Ghouleh,
Painfully hilarious。 A rather accurate, though exaggerated, portrayal of the lockdown experience。 I can’t wait for when the Instagram panels are collected with the alleged other panels into a compendium come August (I’ve already pre-ordered my copy!)。 Hanselmann really outdid himself here—superb storytelling and gripping artwork。 Excellent!
Emmet,
Fantastic webcomic。 Can’t wait to read Crisis Zone in print
