For the uninitiated, I Hate Fairyland is a series about a girl who gets pulled into a super saccharine world called Fairyland and she can't leave until she finishes a quest to do so. She's really bad at that and doesn't age and when the series starts has been there for years. She is, at that point, just murdering anyone to find her way out.

It's worth a read.

Going to check this out

That Broker guy looks familiar. Is he someone I might have seen elsewhere, or is it just a general Sinestro-ish design?

It's great because Young is just like "I want to do a thing" and then make it work. Like he did a whole samurai movie parody issue just because he felt like it.

He's such a weird dude in person. I got a free sketch from him but he didn't like my friend's hat so he wouldn't give him one.

I don't read a whole lot of comics, mostly just lurk this thread, but what I found refreshing about it really was that episodic "eh, now I'm done" sort of aspect to every issue. He has a cool idea, runs with it. It's a fast fun read to catch up on.

He seemed pretty normal to me when I saw him but that was years ago. He may have gone art crazy. I did meet Don Rosa and you should not try to talk about Duck Tales to Don Rosa. I heard him muttering under his breath when someone walked by and started singing the theme music.

I Hate Fairyland is good and fun if you enjoy Skottie Young's art.

It looks to be selling well, too, so I imagine he'll be on it for awhile.

I Hate Image Comics is also worth a a gander.

Don Rosa hates the gently caress out of Ducktales. Mostly because he felt like he and banks always tried to inject reality into their Duck stories and Duck Tales was basically 'a cartoon'

He has a sign there telling you the differences because dude really doesn't want to talk about it. I did pick up the first volume of I Hate Fairyland (only 2 bucks on comixology) and holy poo poo you can tell Skottie is just having the best time drawing this insanity.

I'm reading Animal Man for the first time, and maybe it's cuz I'm still kind of high but it's just cracking me up. It's so over the top and 80s and has nice little bits of humor like this.

There's so many weird bits in Animal Man, like how one of the villains is diabetic or at least takes insulin but I don't think that ever comes up except in one panel?

Maybe that's how some things should be treated. He's not a villain because he's diabetic, it's just something about him, like his hair color. (Unless he's bald; those people are monsters.)

How come not a single goon has ever said to me "Hey man you should read the greatest comic of all time, it's called Animal Man"



I hear Morrison only does the first 20 or so issues and it's not as good anymore? Does it stop being...completely hilarious?
