So in this second volume of American Virgin .. Adam goes to catch the guy who killed his fiancee.I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I Love comics to bit, may comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading...
Volume 2 of "American Virgin" is a huge step up from Volume 1. The stylistic tone is far more balanced, making the comedy and drama, sex and violence, religion and earthiness fit together much better this time around. It's as though the creators decided, "to hell with it, let's just go for broke and hold nothing back," creating a sometimes dark, sometimes goofy, intermittently sexy and philosophical revenge adventure into the heart of Australia's hypersexual club scene.
The second collected volume of the comic series lacks the emotional punch of the first book. Adam is back in America burying Cassie. His mother wants him to continue as the charismatic chastity campaigner he was before his trip to Africa, but Adam has begun to have doubts. His discoveries about Cassie coupled with his anger at God for taking Cassie away from him have lead him to question everything he believes in.A volume about Adam coming to grips with this would have been interesting on its ow...
This book is so over-the-top that everything feels like complete caricature, yet I still find it oddly compelling. It's probably my Catholic upbringing combined with my left-leaning, live-and-let-live, pacifist philosophy toward life that inspires this feeling, but I like the odd balance of "deviance" and devout, sincere religious belief.Cloonan's art definitely supports the cartoonish extremes of the story very comfortably, though I wonder how many more shocks and extremes Seagle has left. I st...
Story takes a turn, yet maintains the fast paced narrative...
Al igual que en el #1, hubo partes en las que me perdí y otras en las que parecía todo a las apuradas. En este, más todavía. Pim, pam, pum, y tenemos un personaje muerto, un secreto reveldo, un escándalo en puertas y andá a saber cuántas vueltas de tuerca más por delante. Para saberlo, tendré que averiguarlo en la edición yanqui. La española quedó trunca acá por bajas ventas. La verdad que a veces no entiendo cómo se mueve el mercado de la historieta. Pobre Adam y sus fans españoles.
Virgin/young evangelical speaker Adam Chamberlain continues grieving the death of his girlfriend/fellow virgin by going to Australia to come face to face with her killer. Going on at the exact same time on the exact same continent are an evangelical speakers' conference AND a gay pride festival/Olympics. All of these combine for some funny and occasionally didactic moments.The real highlight of the book is the art by Becky Cloonan and Ryan Kelly. Both made their name collaborating with Brian Wo...
I liked this better than the first volume, but it was still a bit clumsy.Things definitely pick up the pace and characters start to develop more, but the protagonist doesn't really evolve. He just gets put into increasingly uncomfortable situations, but his responses to those situations are predictable. That being said, some of those situations are hilarious, so...Gonna keep forging on with this one. We'll see if it comes together.
Still didn't interest me much more than the first collection. The whole thing concerns a dedicated virgin, a die hard young Christian, who preaches abstinence and chastity until marriage. the death of his girlfriends throws him off balance however and now he is ostensibly on some quest of self discovery. The volume ends with him thrown into the water, plane crash. Obviously he escapes, but this is the birth of new realizations for him as he is re-baptized by his accidents. I may just continue to...
Steven T Seagle's very dark and very funny, dark comedy about a young evangelical superstar Adam's fight to stay on the spiritual and holy path after some awful experiences. Some how Steven T Seagle manages to blend terrorism, religion, love and a world tour into a pretty good book! 7 out of 12.
Adam and co travel to Australia to find out more about the terrorist group responsible for Cassie's death.
Pretty good. A little better than the first one. I'm still questioning if this is too outragious or just right.
I am loving this series! In your face, psychological and thought provoking.
comics,alt
Adam is under so much stress after losing Cassie that he sees her spirit during her funeral. A bit of coffin humping later and Adam is his old, blindly faithful self again. The amount of praise for God and the Bible soon becomes boring AF. Worse, I don't feel anything for any character because they barely feel human. I'm pretty sure the author intended to create some humor here and there, but the outcome is bland and sleep-inducing. I started reading this comic at least in part because of the co...
It's kinda silly. And I got bored.
This was a really bad comic. The writing was average at best, there was nothing intriguing about any of the characters. The protagonist was utterly unlikable and had no depth to his character. Boring and bad.
quem n gosta é burro pq não entende a história
I appreciate how they address the religious form of colonialism
No sentí la misma potencia y enganche que en el tomo anterior, la historia me sigue interesando, pero en esta ocasión no lo sentí la gran cosa. Sí, avanzaron algunos temas y se resolvieron unos cuantos otros pero no me movió como antes. ¡A ver que tal el siguiente!
