Preview of Laughing Corpse Necromancer 3

In which we have more pointless dialogue, side characters we'll probably never see again, and JC's disturbing petrified-marshmallow abs. I plan to review it in full later on, but here's a taste of the horror.

Page 1-3: Blah blah blah, Charles can't get a sitter so we hear about him bickering amiably with Anita the whole time, which turns out to be pointless because Anita doesn't wanna bring him anyway. This whole section should have been cut.

Page 3: I've never seen a man who wasn't balding do that bizarre side part right over the ear. And JC looks like he's about to don some high heels and sashay around the office.

Page 4: JC looks like a freaking ALIEN in panel 2. And that bruise on Whorenita's face looks like someone left a glass of fruit punch on her face without a coaster.

Page 5: I can't stop giggling whenever they say "Tenderloin." I don't know why. And in the bottom panel, it looks like JC's pasty nipples are trying to migrate to his armpits.

Page 6: "I do it as often as I can, ma petite, just to prove that I can." "What's that supposed to mean?" Damn, she's dense. What does she need, a google translator?
And somehow it amuses me that JC gets all wangsty-flattering, saying that Whorenita's eyes are the clearest mirror about what he is, while Anita says she'd never forget that he's undead. The latter half is true -- now in the series, vampires and weres are the only ones she even notices.

Page 7: Kiss kiss kiss on Anita's enormous butt. It's taken one and a half chapters just for Anita to drag herself to the Tenderloin.
And apparently Anita's stupidity is already rubbing off on JC. That, and he increasingly looks like a Grey Alien in a wig.

I look at this pictures and all I can think is "wot."

The only thing saving me right now is anticipating the "Prepare for trouble . . . and make it double!" joke that Chris's Invincible Super Blog is gearing up for at the first sign of JC.

I am horrified that Marvel is still making this. *sad*

LOL!! I keep hearing Fat Albert's voice when I read Charles' lines. They should've put him in a red sweater.

EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW

Hi, all:

TALK about your WTF moments . . . and would somebody PLEASE explain to me just WHY this dreck is STILL being published? I know that it CANNOT be selling all that well, since the SciFi book club is offering the comix at a substantial discount these days!

My guess? Contract, they have to at least finish 'Laughing Corpse' not sure if they will do the Third Book. I HAVE noticed that this no longer being billed as a Dabel Brothers venture, just Marvel

WHERE is JCs navel? That's just weirds me out.

It's fallen into that hole in the middle of his chest.

And I think he has an extra ab.

Sooooooooo, he's so manly he has an eight-pack?

Anita has the same angry, I'll-kick-your-ass expression on her face in EVERY panel, even the ones where the dialogue doesn't call for "angry". Or maybe that's just the artist knowing what an angry bitch Anita really is. Hmmm.

Who is Charles? In the book, she talks to Manny, her old teacher who is Hispanic. Wasn't Charles the token black cop who was always such a great guy until NiC where he freaked out to find out that Anita wasn't dead after all?

Seriously, who is Charles?
