Jhonen Vasquez is
the creator of 'Johnny the Homicidal Maniac', 'Squee' and 'I Feel Sick - a Book about a Girl'. His pitch-black humor, combined
with the over-excessive use of violence, neatly drawn in high contrast black and white, make his comics a true horror to behold.
Highly recommended, but not for sissies. With Story lines based on horrific violence on those
that offend or upset him and occasionally on whoever happens to be nearby. You see, he knows something we don't. He knows
that there's something behind the wall in his basement and if he doesn't keep the wall wet, it'll come through and no one
wants that. So, for the greater good, Johnny spends his time tracking down and killing the worst elements of society and uses
their blood to keep the wall wet and keep the whatever-it-is behind it at bay.The effect of black and white opposed to color
is amazing because it leaves your mind to fill in what you do not see and It kept me comming back for more. I borrowed the
full edition and never put it down. Here is a list of the books based on this series.

Issue + 1
Published
+ August 1995
Events + Nny introduces himself to the world and little Squee, his next door neighbour, traumatising him for
the first, but not last time. The Dough Boys and Nailbunny talk for the first time, Nny questions his sanity. We learn a lot
about Nny's views on society and suicide, but most of the murders commited in this issue are just reactions to some sort of
irritation rather than ideals. Oh ... and that wierd wall is introduced, we're not so sure what it's all about at this point.

Issue + 2
Published
+ November 1995
Events + Nny explains to us and his victims why he hate
people and why he likes to kills them. We agree with him, think he is God. The mystique of the wall grows larger. What the
hell is behind it? The best Meanwhile ever is in this issue. The one with the beloved Devi and that guy with shit in his pants.
Hahahah! That's so good! We're then formally introduced to her with the big date. Nny likes Brainfreezy and Fiz-Wiz.

Issue + 3
Published
+ February 1996
Events + Squee gets abducted and Nny saves him while
explaining to him that the world is ugly while further traumatising him. The Dough Boys start moving on their own, and thus
Nailbunny loses his body. Something wierd is going on in the cosmos.

Issue + 4
Published
+ May 1996
Events + Nny contemplates his killing and what modern
society has made of the world with a floaty Nailbunny. Naibunny is good and we like him. We learn more about what's behind
the wall ... start thinking that maybe there's something actually there and that it's not just Nny being crazy. Devi is traumatised
but tries to work something out, thus Nny gets fucked up. Will he be ok?!?

Issue + 5
Published
+ August 1996
Events + This issue's pretty fucked. We see what's behind
the wall and get a bit of a tour of the basement. Nny's still fucked and gets kicked in the head a bit and then the universe
is destroyed. I don't know what was going on here.

Issue + 6
Published
+ November 1996
Events + Nny goes to Heaven! God turns out to be fat
but has a cool chair, and he's too lazy to answer any questions (Jhonen's just covering his ass cuz he doesn't really
know the answers). Nny descovers that they have wierd head explody powers up there and ends up being sent to Hell for disturbing
the bliss. Hell is just like Earth but more superficial and crappy. Nny doesn't belong there either ... so he goes home.

Issue + 7
Published
+ January 1997
Events + Nny's number 1 fan comes and pays him a visit.
He is annoying and Nny hates him and kills him (I don't know where Jhonen was going with this). He then tries to explain himself
to Devi (awww ... he's in love) but Devi still thinks he's insane. But he's improving! The DoughBoys don't talk to him anymore!
Instead it's the Bub's Burger Boy, there's a new power at hand. Nny pays Squee a last visit, he's going on a "vacation".
