Sluggy Freelance?
 
It's been really good lately! The "Year in the Life of a Villain" thing he just did has just been, like, the Sluggiest damn thing that Sluggy's done in ages.

Seriously. I've been waiting for him to get back to this plot forever.

Fifthfiend 12-20-2008 03:04 AM

Yeah I'm really happy to see that Sluggy's sloughed off all this nonsense about extradimensional pirates and schools of magic and demonically haunted houses and has gotten back to the basics, like inflatable spaceships and sinister pizzerias and mad-science-created assassins.

Seriously though Sluggy has always been at its best when it gets nigh-incestuously self-referential and lately Abrams has been humping his continuity like he paid it money for the priviledge. Torg and Zoe! Oasis project! Hereti-corp reborn! God I love this shit. All we need now is for a bikini-clad girl with a frisbee to knock over the milk dish for a litter of deceptively adorable-looking kittens and it'll be the most shamelessly sloppy Slug-fest there's ever been.

I am glad to hear that as I've been meaning to get back into reading Sluggy for, well years now.

That Which Redeems is still the best damn arc in the whole comic though.

Lies. Holiday Wars was the best, and you know it.

I'm really liking bROKEN. Although I pretty much like all the Sluggy Arcs.

Fifthfiend 12-21-2008 12:22 AM

Holiday Wars is retroactively tainted due to its having led into Oceans Unmoving.

BitVyper 12-21-2008 01:32 AM

I like Oceans Unmoving, but it should have been released as a graphic novel and not put up as part of the ongoing strip. It was a really good story, but not remotely suited to the format in which it was told.

Loved the anti-climax.

I enjoyed it, even though it was completely fucking incomprehensible. Pete Abrams is that good of a writer.
