Now that I've watched the show I get confused about what happened in the comics versus the show. I like both a lot, mostly because of their originality, and of course Cassidy is awesome. This one seemed kinda like "more of the same" and though it was "out there" they didn't reach some of the peaks that were reached in earlier story arcs. ( )

Enjoyed the series overall, but it was uneven. Arseface seemed like a waste of time, and I only read those centric-episodes because I'm a completist. Would definitely recommend, because it raises some interesting questions, but I wasn't convinced the writer had 66 issues in him. Maybe 50. ( )

Nothing seems able to go right in this volume, from Herr Starr's plan to kidnap Tulip to Cass trying to stay sober and everything in between. By the end of the book everyone's gotten their own dose of crap, and a reckoning is sure to be coming before everything sorts itself out. The biggest upset isn't even the political machinations or Jesse's quest for God, but it's that Cass managed to hook up with Tulip while Jesse was out of commission. I guess it's not a good idea to fall out of a plane, but what can you do: sometimes this shit just happens... ( )

Awww, some really awesome scenes in this one. Now I know how Jesse lost an eye, and I really didn't see that coming.

I mean, sure, a nuclear blast is dangerous... but to have one put out his eye??? Shameful. They should put a warning on such things. Seriously. Someone could sue.

Great action, great weirdness, and a little landscape remodeling. Or two landscape remodelings, I ought to say. A comic about landscape remodeling. Sure. That's what this is. With tanks blowing up. That works. :)

Seriously, though, the in-between scenes of Fox News correspondents was soooo right. It sounded just like them. "But what about all the indians that were living there?" "They ought to be used to it by now." "What?"

Yikes. Some really scary stuff going on here, and it's not just what's on the menu, either. ( )

This was probably the most intense book of the series so far. The Chunt brothers creeped me out, Custer’s injury saddened me, Cassidy’s relationship with Tulip made me despair, and Arseface’s make-believe world seemed over-the-top. Can’t wait to read book seven! ( )
