COVER BY: Steve McNiven

Price: 2.99

In this issue, NOTHING CHANGES!!!!

If you loved the first issue of this series, then this comic is still for you.  Millar still nearly knows how to swear.  McNiven can sort of draw faces, but not really.  And shit gets fucked up in precisely the predictable way shit gets fucked up in movies where people say “Shit is fucked up.”

If, like me, you thought the first issue was crap, save your money, this one isn’t any better.  You can still support Millar by buying Ultimate Avengers 2 #3, which I haven’t read yet, but have a hard time believing won’t be way the fuck better than this.

Story: 1 - Poor
Art: 2 - Average

  1. Dude. I just looked at your pull list.  You get all of that free, right?  How the hell does that work? Your store must turn a tremendous profit to be able to afford that.

  2. I don’t keep them.  I just read them, and put them back on the shelves.

  3. That’s cool.  I’d do the same thing.

  4. Egads.  I don’t have enough room in my house for all the books I read each week.  My trade bookshelves are bad enough.

  5. Well, my biggest deal is clutter.  I fucking hate it, and a fuck load of mangy comic boxes falls under the clutter category for me.  I had eight at one time and have whittled it down to 4 now by buying cheap trades and trading in the actual comics for credit. 

  6. Yeah, I kinda do the same–I try my damnest to always buy something from my store, though.

    As for the book…yeah, I read through the first issue and it seems like Millar’s method of writing the most "fucked-up shit," as you put it, just doesn’t cut it anymore. Especially in this case, since there wasn’t at least some character or situation that you can somewhat relate to, whether you like or not, like the case was at times with Kick-Ass; just fucked-up people doing fucked-up things. Yawn. 

  7. I remember my last LCS they’d put up colorful signs every couple feet that said "NO READING ALLOWED".

  8. @cromulent: We don’t have those signs, but if we did, I think I’d be exempt.  😉
