I know this one's been floating around since NYCC, since they did the "Premature Release" variant, but just got through reading it. Really twisted, unique and absolutely awesome. Not going to be everyone's cup of tea but for anyone in the creative fields, or who has an interest in the whole push pull of creative/corporate dynamic it's a great book. Plus there's tons of off the wall violence, not Revenge type gore, much more colorful and less off putting at least to me.

This book is weird, I'll give you that.

I've read all 5 of these and I've never laughed so much while reading a comic. It's like Hunter S. Thompson wrote a comic series. There is even a scene from "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas" where they drive the convertible while hallucinating.

 

I think it's the smartest comic I've ever read. Hope they keep it going past 5 because it had kind of a soft ending.
