Summary: Post-Modern Quirk-Fest
Comment: A quick summary of Dean Haspiel's post-modern quirk-fest is a hard thing to nail down, but I'll give it a try. Our protagonist, the aforementioned Billy Dogma, is a hopeless, loquacious romantic: all he wants is to hang with his girlfriend, the beautiful Jane Legit. Unfortunately, the world's a little more practical place than that, so he's gotta swim with the sharks if he's gonna make ends meet. They can try and make him compromise his integrity, as long as they don't mind a faceful of fist every now and then! Truly "getting" Haspiel's Billy Dogma stories requires a little bit of work on the reader's part, and maybe a second or third reading, but it's well worth the effort. Having the whole kit and kaboodle in one big chunk is helpful, too. And at seven bucks for almost a hundred pages, can you really say no?

Summary: Improvisational Dysfunction
Comment: Haspiel's stream-of-consciousness existential musings are engagingly brought to life by the motley crew of characters, including gun-toting Billy Dogma, his girlfriend Jane Legit, down-on-his-luck superhero Max Trope, and many others. The writing is often poetic-- although maybe not purposefully so?-- and the drawing is dynamic and sometimes beautiful.
