I loved this at the time of reading it, but let's be honest, my tastes were pretty cringe at that time. Served with a generous helping of Korn and Slipknot, JNCO bondage pants and Manic Panic hair dye applied to an undercut, a wallet that read Pornstar in letters on fire secured by a wallet chain I made out of plastic yellow barrier chain I stole from the mall parking lot.

What can I say about dear ol' Nny? LOL He is so delightfully mad in a completely insane world. For many of us Jhonen Vasquez fans, this is where it all began. Just us, Johnny, Nail Bunny and a few dead bodies laying around.
For those who are fans of the TV show Invader Zim but don't know JTHM, please educate yourselves 😉 This is truly a dark, captivating, clever and completely insane work of art. ❤❤❤❤❤
Devilishly demented.
JTHM stands for Johnny The Homicidal Maniac. He is a young man who struggles with more than just mental illness. He has psychotic episodes, hallucinations, and more than that a desire to commit murder. He stuffs rats into stuffed animals and puts them into blenders. He Nails animals to the wall and then speaks to them. Creepier yet, they speak to him! He keeps people in the basement to exact his need for violence and bloodshed. And he constantly battles with the desire to commit suicide.
This is one of my most favorite comic book series. I love the artwork that Jhonen Vasquez presents. It is both creepy and stimulating to the eye. But as the creator of the Invader Zim series I would expect nothing less.
JTHM was his first adventure into creation via art and I have to say it's most definitely his best. The distain for living day today and the characters discust for the rest of humanity are really felt through his artwork.
JTHM is both extremely comical and horrifyingly terrible. But obviously it is only that way for a select type of reader. I feel that most people would find this comic very unsettling. However I also feel that this is geared more towards the younger generations who would see the comedy of irony in it. I could speak volumes on this work but I will stop there to restrain myself from babbling LOL.
I would highly recommend this comic book series to anyone who likes Invader Zim or creepy comics in general. ( )

2.5 stars. Johnny (a.k.a. Nny) is a homicidal maniac and basically just goes around killing people, and sometimes contemplates killing himself.

I wasn’t crazy about Johnny and his stories, but I liked some of the supporting characters. I also liked the little “introduction” of the characters (likes, dislikes, etc.) at the end of the book. I also liked the strips of the first Johnny comics; I actually preferred the look of them to the current comics. Overall, though, I just can’t quite say I liked it, so 2.5 stars. ( )
