Giggles and guffaws,
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Comic Fantasy II (CARROLL & GRAF) (Paperback)
I love comic fantasy, so was looking forward to this collection very much. I was *not* disappointed! From 'Neander-tale' (why not to make fun of the weird guy) to 'The Outpost Undiscovered By Tourists' (a new twist on the three kings), you'll enjoy yourself tremendously. Good for many hours of grins and giggles...

Juxtaposition Rank: Utter Despair in the Semi-Literate P.M.,
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Comic Fantasy II (CARROLL & GRAF) (Paperback)
A puzzled demeanor paves the road towards less-than-ebullient dissatisfaction. I don't care if the reader of this review spends his/her money on DVD collections of "Desperate Housewives", "Grey's Anatomy" or "Joey"--the lot shall be cast into the foul breath with mechanical precision when the red bulb becomes illuminated--but I must protest the curiousity flittering around Mike Ashley's compilations. This collection isn't appropriately creative to be deemed as absurd. I'm an eccentric fellow who cannot condone a bowl of cereal unless the contents of the bowl are a mixture of disparate palates, so I can appreciate a guffaw (why not?? lately, the comparisons being proclaimed by the spawn of pacers balancing my outrageously, outlandish supervillainous hyena exhalation and the trademarked sociopathic titter of Batman's #1 [self-proclaimed] foe have begged examination). However, this book belongs in the dungheap. Perhaps my meager scope of comprehension prohibits me from a total self-elucidation of the rationale behind publishing such a pestiferous tooth-stainer of literature, but I shall rest comfortably knowing that the book shall be fettered to the shelves collecting not accolades, but DUST.
By the by, homewreckers, scroll down my list of reviews and you shall acknowledge that less than a year ago another Mike Ashley compilation was criticized very favorably. Yes...obviously, the missing piece of this diabolical sphinx shall be enshrouded eternally...
