Lucky Dog Comics
Right off the bat, I’d like to say that I wasn’t expecting much from this. Call me biased, but anything with a cover like this just sends off all kinds of warning bells in my brain. Still, they had a table all to themselves at FLUKE, and they were both incredibly nice people and willing to trade to somebody as broke as me, so I have no problem at all with them as human beings. If that’s what I was basing this on, I’d say buy a million of them. This mini has the story of two 35 year old guys trying to pick up girls at clubs, a long random story about furniture and a guy with a railroad spike in his head, and a two page strip that always ends with the main characters falling in love. Sorry if that ruined anything for you, but it’s obvious after you read the first one, and it’s just the same characters over and over again. In case you couldn’t tell yet, this one wasn’t for me. If you like anime maybe you should pick this up, as you could relate to this. For example, I’m pretty sure the strip I sampled is funny if you watch a lot of anime, but I’m not sure. I’m putting it here just in case. The longer story in the middle isn’t bad at all. It kind of reminded me of the work of Mario Hernandez with, again, anime elements thrown in. It’s only a buck if you want to give it a try, but there wasn’t much in here for me to recommend.
