Reviews

[Dani Mexuto · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sigo flipando con que catro matados en Letonia atopen, editen e publiquen a xenios como Triana Muñoz (Spain,1990) ou Ema Gaspar (Portugal, 1993) que non publican nos seus países.

Íalle por 4 estrelas por comparación con números previos un chisco mellores até que chegou o cómic de Yan Cong (China, 1983) cunha sinopse que básicamente se resume nun señor ao que non se lle levanta a picha, e isto contado por un fulano que vive e sempre viviu en Beijing acada niveis de misticismo ignorados até hoxe.

Misery loves company, and the cartoonists that deliver pieces in š! #33 all knew just how to deliver a great anthology together. Highlight pieces in this issue include: Tara Booth's distressing medley of portraits entitled "Misery", Adriana Marineo's story of denial - "A Hole", Christopher Sperandio's satirical "Miserable Asshole" and Yan Cong's hilariously grim "Busty Temptation".

Kus! publishes absolutely wonderful books! The tallents andstyles of the artists they feature are so great! In this book 'Misery', some of my favorites are Tara Booth, Yan Cong, Wolfgang Matzl, and Alice Fiorelli and Andrea De Franco!
