Political Ardvark!
Rating: 5
Summary: The torch burns brighter
Comment: After reading the first I was hooked and this second volume game me the only thing missing from the first, a solid plot. With Cerebus trying to move up into high society and gain the role of prime minister his character becomes even more diverse and you love the little ardvark more and more. Best comic series I have ever read.

Summary: .
Comment: To my mind, High Society remains a high point in the Cerebus epic. Like the much later "Guys," it is a (relatively) self-contained chunk of the story, and takes place largely in a single locale. The political parody, which normally would not be my cup of tea, works incredibly well here because of the *detail* Sim injects it with. I never would've imagined that an electoral process could be so much fun to read in graphic novel form. Unlike later books, in High Society, Sim manages to remain focused on the story itself, sparing us the pretentious trappings and scattershot, heavy-handed meanderings that would mar later segments of Cerebus. In other words, this is when Dave Sim was still doing Cerebus, as opposed to his "Hi, I am Dave Sim and I am very clever and here is what I think about the world and here is what I look like and here is my latest experiment in the comic medium and oh, by the way, this is a comic book called Cerebus and yeah, it has something to do with him, when I'm not writing about whatever famous author I just finished reading and when I don't have anything arrogant and irrelevant to share with all of my fans" -- work. I like a lot of what Sim's done, but he's at his best when he leaves himself out of it and concentrates on coherent chunks of actual story.
