Iruma-Kun: Welcome to Demon School #5

Bad comedy is just the absolute worst thing to write about. It's like trying to pump water out of a salt flat.

Iruma-Kun: Welcome to Demon School #3-4

You know, I think that bad comedy might be my absolute least favorite thing to review.

Iruma-Kun: Welcome to Demon School #2

Daily reminder of how much great art we haven't gotten in the last few decades thanks to these working conditions.

Iruma-Kun: Welcome to Demon School #1

There are some clever, funny, and inventive moments throughout this double-length intro chapter. There just aren't enough of them, and the stuff between them is a boring, forgettable, poorly-paced, generic slog that fails to distinguish itself from the thing it's ostensibly parodying.

Scrooge McDuck "Return to Xanadu"

I can totally picture Karl Barks the dog-person inspiring a workers' revolt in Scrooge's factories.

Scrooge McDuck "Tralla-La"

Scrooge sure does get proscribed an awful lot of different medications in these 1950's comics, doesn't he?

Chainsaw Man #39-43 (part three)

There's some really mystical imagery going on here. Which is, again, made tragically ironic by how insincere Reze's performance actually is.

Chainsaw Man #39-43 (part two)

Will this end up being a test of the heart that Denji is so proud of himself for having? Or a test of the brain that neither he nor the reader has any reason to put faith in? Possibly both.

Uh...huh.

Tokyo Ghoul #10-14 (part two)

Mado really is weird-looking.

Tokyo Ghoul #10-14 (part one)

Another aspect of ghoul culture that we get into in the following chapter, "Masks," is their traditional, well, masks.

The Power Fantasy #1-5 (part two)

I'm honestly dying to find out what happens next.

The Power Fantasy #1-5 (part one)

Kieron Gillen looks into your very souls, Versus Debaters. And he finds them wanting.

Chainsaw Man #37-38: "Train, Head, Chainsaw" and "Easy Revenge"

Anyway, that's the end of the Fireteam crisis plotline.

Chainsaw Man #35-36: "Minor" and "Katana vs. Chainsaw"

Well, we already knew that Yakuza-kun isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Even if his arms and face can get pretty sharp at times.

Chainsaw Man #33-34: "Mission Start" and "Full Team"

It's shark time!

Chainsaw Man #31-32: "The Future Rules" and "Over and Over Again"

...the existence of this entity alone might actually lead to the internet not being a publically available thing in this world. Enough people doomscrolling could make it omnipotent.
