They're Not Like Us #3 (2015)

Cover:

Again?  Well… okay then. *Throws another punch.*

Plot:

HA!  Plots are for suckers.

Writing:

This is as deep as a kiddie’s pool.

Our Hero:

This people are nuts.  Run for your life!

Our Villain:

He's a child molestor!  That totally makes these psychopaths look so much better, right?

Our Side Characters:

For people who think they are above humanity, they have shown no indication that they are better.

Action:

He’s a bad guy, so it’s totally okay to beat the shit out of him and kill him because that makes me look good!

Dialogue:

What does that make you guys?  Full-of-Yours Hipsters, that’s what you are.

Art:

The coloring is nice.

Most Memorable Moment:

………….I can’t remember anything.

Final Page:

You meet them?  Good for you.  Have a cookie.

What We Should Take from This Comic:

Humanity full of mindless drones, going from place to place. You are all sheep and zombies, while people with powers are much cooler and freer than you.

What We Do Take From This Comic:

Your critique of humanity is juvenile and generic.  You need to take a philosophy and discover real cultural criticism.

Yay or Nay?

NAY

Wytches #3 (2014)

Cover:

Hmmm, I think that man is on fire.

Plot:

Sailor has disappeared to somewhere, leaving only a stolen school bus behind.  Her parents are incredibly worried and frantic about it, but not as much as her father, who had a very weird encounter with a peg-legged woman.

Writing:

Good old fashion nightmare fuel.

Our Hero:

Man, I can’t imagine why the cops would think you were drunk when you tell a story like that!

Our Villain:

Do not underestimate that woman with her pixie dust and needle sir!

Our Side Characters:

I’m surprised cops are underreacting the whole, you know, school bus theft.

Horror:

My stomach hurts now.

Dialogue:

Yeah, I think you need to put out that light.

Art:

Just splash that paint all over the place sir!  That’ll make things look better!

Most Memorable Moment:

GAH!!  Blow out the match; blow out the match!!

Final Page:

And now, she is falling straight to Wonderland.

What We Should Take from This Comic:

Things are only getting weirder and more unnerving for this family; which begs a certain question: What is this pledge?

What We Do Take From This Comic:

I’m pro-logging and cutting down tons of trees from now on!

Yay or Nay?

yay

Rumble #1 (2014)

Cover:

Well he looks like trusty worthy fellow don’t he?

Plot:

One day, a young man named Bobby is tending a bar when one of his customers is attacked by a crazed scarecrow.  After dispatching it, he ends up with Cloud’s sword from Final Fantasy and has no idea what the hell is going on.

Writing:

I have no idea what the first two pages have to do with anything.

Our Hero:

Dude, you put that thing on EBay.  You probably get so much money for it.

Our Villain:

These have to be the politest hellspawn I’ve ever seen.

Our Side Characters:

You know what, I like this old curmudgeon.

Action:

Man, you knocked the straw right out of that guy!

Dialogue:

I’m assuming we are somewhere in the Deep South.

Art:

Man, what a lovely looking s**thole of a city this is!

Most Memorable Moment:

Not exactly the usual sort of folk see walk out of a dark alley.  Their blades tend to be much smaller.

Final Page:

Hmm, maybe it was a good thing you didn’t burn all of that straw.

What We Should Take from This Comic:

Something really weird and supernatural is going on in the city that Bobby lives in and they seem to want that sword.

What We Do Take From This Comic:

This comic and Goosebumps book, The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight, prove that scarecrows are legitimate threats to all of humanity.

Yay or Nay?

yay
