5.0 out of 5 stars Demons, and aliens, and vampires, Oh My!, March 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Sluggy Freelance: Worship the Comic (Book 2) (Paperback)

The anarchic humor continues as Riff,Torg, Zoe et al stumble (or get zapped) into wildly funny adventures. The book contains these storylines: Torg's encounter with the inept demons of the Dimension of Pain (one of whom collects Beanie Babies - truly evil!), the vacation at the Outer Banks (with a sidetrip where Bun-Bun, the amoral lop-ear, corrupts the Amish), Aylee the alien secretary's transmutation, and Torg's switch to an alternate dimension (where his counterpart has purple hair and speaks Portuguese, Bun-Bun is sweet, and beer doesn't exist). The masterpiece though, is an epic vampire tale, with stunning artwork and unexpected pathos and drama amongst the humor. Sluggy Freelance remains a hard series to describe; the best thing to do is just start reading. Trust me, you will find it strangely addictive!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sluggy What?, September 25, 2001

This review is from: Sluggy Freelance: Worship the Comic (Book 2) (Paperback)

Funny name, funnier book. This is the second book in what is now (at least, at the time this review is being written) a 6 book series.

Best read in a series, as some jokes will rely heavily on character background, or past events... although each book can be picked up and enjoyed without having read the entire series, it's still funnier if you know the whole story.

Definitly worth a read... I've read my own set several times over already! It will cause you to start saying things like "Ahhh! I'm burning with goodness!" which, inevitably, causes people to give you funny looks as you laugh at your own joke.

Once you read it, you're hooked. Don't forget to check out the website, for new daily comics!

Sluggy Freelance, need I say more? For those of you that haven't been made aware of the funniest, smartest and greatest comic on the internet, I'd suggest that you head over to sluggy.com to find out just how nifty it is. You might find yourself spending your entire day off just reading the archives, and craving more. This is the second book in the Sluggy family, one that you must own if you have even the slightest semblance of anything remotely close to a sense of humor. This book chronicles the 5th through the 8th chapters in the lives of the Sluggy crew. Starting with Sam's marrage, going into the introduction of The Demension of Pain, then ahh, wonderful summer, and a vacation to Nags Head, North Carolina, and into the vampires story where we learn *something* about Val's true nature, and a few more scary things. Bun-bun can't be stopped, neither can Lord Horribus, but you'll have to Worship the Comic to know what I'm talking about.
Including the "Nifty Flowchart" (which is correct for about ten minuites) and Bun-bun's black market viagra scheme this book is a must own. Smart and funny, with jokes that will kill you unless you come up for air, which is hard to do with writing this smart and compelling.
