Reading single issues. (Note that, as of this writing only the first 4 issues are out yet.)And I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying this title. (Though to be fair, I do have a penchant for both B-list characters and titles with a slight goofiness to them!)I realize this title isn't for everyone, but if you liked SquirrelGirl, Great Lakes Avengers, Howard the Duck, or Damage Control (amongst others) give this title a try.
"That's not funny" sums ups my experience pretty well.Marvel "Infinite Comics" are not my favorite to start with, but I expected Slapstick to be, worst case scenario, a rip-off of Dark Horse Comics' The Mask, but if failed at being a "toon" in most ways.Slapstick won't move a muscle unless he's getting payed and is obsessed with getting his "wangdoodle" back, to the point of hiring a villain who he betrays instantly when confronted by the good guys.Slapstick spends most of the comic fighting...
I honestly thought this was a rather funny comic. I picked it up from the library on an impulse and would recommend it to others. It uses slapstick's cartoony look, along with other cartoon parodies of predominantly 80's cartoons, as a contrast to the rest of the art in the book. The art is where it's most interesting but it some humorous discussion on the challenges of being a cartoon character. It's short, sweet and extremely fun and the main thing is I had fun which is what I expected :)
Well this was...surreal. I needed a book about clowns for a reading challenge this month and someone suggested this. I know enough about Deadpool to know it was going to be bizarre, but this was a whole new level.
Hahaha this was hilarious! 😂
Listen, kids. Kit's got a story to tell.The year: 1996. The place? Sunny Southern California. Kit is nine years old, turning ten during that blazing summer. Her neighbor invites her over to sneak into her big brother's room. Going through shoeboxes full of comics, Kit's life has changed. It changes further when said Big Brother comes home, gives a performative teenage fit about his stuff, and then starts lending small stacks of comics to Kit for pocket change. In that stack is the first book of
There were a lot of problems with this book. First, the main character is a Dinkle-style unlovable loser. Second, it seemed to want to coast on some clever homages/references but they were largely unnecessary and thinner than they looked. (view spoiler)[ Third, I can't help but think that the scientist's plan results in him becoming a decapitated (i.e., dead) head. Finally, it felt like I had seen this plot before very recently. Maybe Man-Thing? (hide spoiler)]There were a couple of shining mome...
So, let's get this straight. Slapstick is not Deadpool. Slapstick is not Spider-Man. Slapstick is...not very funny. This book is full of pop culture references and dick jokes and nothing else. I did honestly laugh twice so its not the worst. The art is serviceable. Overall, this is not a good read.
In the end there is some interesting pop culture satire here that pays off. The issue is the story is uneven and it really takes time to get us to the over side where Van Lente's style can kick in full force.
One strange book and not for kids.
An enjoyable read by one of my favorite comic book writers/artists: Reilly Brown. This comic earns bonus points for taking place in New Jersey.
Reprints Slapstick! (Limited Series 2) #1-6 (February 2017-July 2017). Slapstick is no hero. In fact, Slapstick is trying to set himself up as a mercenary and has been working with Deadpool as a result. When a cartoon hero named Bro-Man invades Earth, Slapstick learns that the key to his humanity could be back in Ecch which originally gave him his powers. Slapstick finds the S.H.I.E.L.D. division A.R.M.O.R. is threatening to throw him in jail and that he and his friend Mike might be in for the a...
I got this comic for 20 cents and sometimes you can find some gems that are worth MUCH more than what they're at.Yeeah...Noth this one tho. Well, I know that sounds insolent, my bad, but this really is not funny. The premise sounds fun enough, a teenager who was mutated into a cartoon character blessed with the ability to beat the shit out of everyone he makes a buck out of, and point out he no longer has...man parts (I already cursed once I'll spare you now).That brand of humor can be quite enj...
