Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I was hoping that Jhonen Vasquez would appeal to my dark sense of humor, but much of the humor came across as forced. I only give it two stars instead of one because I agree with Vasquez's beliefs concerning humanity's violent tendencies. However, there are plenty of other works (ex: The Lord of the Flies) that convey this very same message with skill and originality.

Summary: I Love Johnny!!!
Comment: Like it says in the forward, Johnny is the little monster in each of us that we deny, our animal nature, our true ID *l* More than that though, he is the saddest most neglected part within us all. He is both the person we love most and the person we cross the street to avoid.
This graphic novel reminded me very much of another called 'Moonshadow' only with a lot less hope and joy *l* This boy is much sadder, We know Moonshadow had a mother who loved him, but we're pretty sure either Johnny's mother was a crackhead or was never around at all.
I've got to admit, I fell in love with Johnny, and yeah, I know he's a comic book character, and that in real life he would have probably cut me to little bits, but like a lot of people I am attracted to pain in a person. So he kills a lot of people... but not without some keen introspction beforehand, and after :o), there is also another monster in the story, and well, I'm beginning to babble. Just buy a copy. You won't be sorry.

Summary: A Delirious Romp through the Visions of the Homocidal?
Comment: Well, I bought this book due to the good reviews thanks to my fellow Nny fans...
This book is brings the best out of Jhnonen (Creator of the cancelled Nickolodean show "Invader Zim"), with his extremely agile/flowing animations, about Johnny the Homocidal Maniac. The whole book revolves around Johnny, who prefer's Nny, and he is a manically depressed maniac, with friends such as Nail-Bunny, D-Boy, and Squee (The Traumatized Next Door Neighbor). The book is horribly grotesque, but its so funny, you get around the blood and guts and laugh your head off.
Its a comic like no other, with humor everywhere, with absolutley morbid pictures, of death, brutaility, and tortue. Yet somehow, it brings laughter to anybody who I have shown it.
That is saying one of two things: 1. The book is truly awesome, or 2. My friends are all Psychoes, and the book is truly awesome.
