stephanie cat's Reviews > Johnny the Homicidal Maniac: Director's Cut

Blood, twisted humor and a look down on society. I absolutely love this book! Johnny C. (or Nny) kills people, not only the ones who deserve it, but people who call him wacky and randoms he meets on the street. He lives in a house filled with torture rooms and a wall with a need for blood, with 2 psychotic doughboys and a floating rabbit head for company. The closest thing he has to a friend is his neighbor, a small boy named Squee, and he writes a comic called Happy Noodle Boy. It's bloody and destructive, but parts of it still ring true.

Despite (or maybe because of) all the torture/death/blood/funny bits/gore/general twisted hilarity of it, I cannot get over this book. Vasquez offers insight into the little part of all of us that just wants to go out and MURDER everyone that's done you wrong. The art is great, the story is great, and you read it again and again after it's over.
