Sinfest (Dark Horse) #3
Sinfest: Viva la Resistance
Sinfest is BACK, and better than ever! Viva la Resistance features over a year and a half of never-before-collected strips from the webcomic phenomenon that's "head-and-shoulders above the rest [... and] superior to most print comic strips, too," (R.C. Harvey). What other series has had the chutzpah to make characters out of God, the Devil, Jesus, Buddha, Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, and corrupt Wall Street CEOs? As the Onion's A.V. Club remarked, Tatsuya Ishida's Sinfest is "irreverent and playful... [crossing] lines that few cartoonists would dare toe." Widely acclaimed for both style and content, Sinfest is a frequent entry in critics' "Best Comics of the Year" lists (Comics Journal, MTV, Comics Reporter, Comics Worth Reading) and just hit its tenth year of serialization. Don't miss it!

I haven't been a regular Sinfest reader from the start. Discovered it quite late and now read the updates via feed. I enjoyed the collection of the original strips a lot and the artist's grasp of his drawing style is always amazing, but I would have preferred Dark Horse had made the previous collections available again before putting out newer material, because the attitude and drawing jump in between is disorienting.
Some of the jokes work and some don't, whether long or short, but it's interesting on the whole if you like his style at all. I'd suggest reading the webcomic first.
Aside: The currently running sexism awareness strips are empowering and fascinating, but I wonder how many male readers the artist has lost by holding up a mirror. Then again there's always Slick and the devil. I do think Sinfest is much more an ensemble comic these days, Slick is no longer the centre of the action.

Collected works of the webcomic. Defenitely worth a read as it has a great take on the world.

Fun web comic that I had nearly forgotten about! Used to read this strip every day. Glad for the walk down memory lane.
