It’s got a reputation for being 'weird,' and since 'weird' is apparently the worst thing a superhero comic can possibly be these days, it’s flying so far under the radar it‘s like black ops." I wish I could extoll the virtues of this book more, but that's another matter entirely. If you haven't been reading Seaguy (vol. 1 is out in trade, and vol. 2 just finished this week) you have no idea what you're missing. It's the best surreal superhero coming-of-age story featuring a hydrophobic, flying, talking, cigar-smoking fish sidekick ever written.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569180426066178711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979804051884732938.post-45417322607790080552009-06-04T10:09:39.461-04:002009-06-04T10:09:39.461-04:00What?
