What I expected from Bagge: Eh. (

morbusiff | Sep 20, 2018 |

Bagge, who at Fantagraphics Books turned out the long-running Hate, is normally a merchant of misanthropy, of a comic and snarky type. In this story, he manages to find some sympathy for his protagonists, who turn out to be more than just the butts of a joke. He manages to create some suspense along the way and have some fun satirizing the "Second Life" phenomenon. (

I picked this one up in the library today and read it in one sitting in the same afternoon. Mr Bagge's clear illustrations, seedy imagination and real-life/avatar-life story-telling combine to produce an entertaining piece of work. (

Since this is the first comic from Peter Bagge I've read, I was caught off guard at how good it was. His characters are some of the most fleshed out characters I've read in a comic, being both realistic, flawed, and hilarious. The story itself is sophisticated and masterfully crafted. (
