Drew Canole's Reviews > Johnny the Homicidal Maniac: Director's Cut

This is one of those comics classics that seems to appeal way beyond the usual comic-reading audience. I picked it up exclusively due to its high rating on this site and in other places. I'm not familiar with Vasquez's other works including his work in animation.

I'm not sure about it.

On one hand, the art work is fine, the subject matter is dark and funny in a black comedy way (sometimes more directly comedic too). It's pretty wordy and at times I found a drag to read. I've never been a big fan of narratives that are obviously serialized.

It's not a bad series at all. Just not seeing the hype!
