Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Johnny The Homicidal Maniac #1 (Johnny the Homicidal Maniac #1)
The series focuses on the 20-something year old anti-hero Johnny C, also known as "NNY" (pronounced 'knee'). He is a deranged serial killer, mass murderer, and spree killer who interacts with various other characters, generally by murdering them. He elaborately kills anyone who even slightly irritates him, then drains their blood and paints one of the walls in his house with it. Johnny is also willing to murder "innocent" people who, in his twisted mind, deserve their fate for some reason or another. The number of Johnny’s victims is in the dozens, if not hundreds — or perhaps even thousands. Authorities are unable to capture Johnny and seem unaware of his existence, even though his crimes are often witnessed in public and reported by the few who manage to survive.Rating About Books Johnny The Homicidal Maniac #1 (Johnny the Homicidal Maniac #1)

I love the silly, yet disturbing, theme of this comic series and some of the stories had me crying with laughter. The art style is beautifully iconic and fun to look at. The whole thing is gruesomely entertaining. My biggest complaint is that the book can get very irritating and at some points, near impossible to read due to annoyance. The dialogue will sometimes become repetitive, loud, and obnoxious, and lose all wit. Other than those more excruciating bits, if you can handle torture sequencesIt's really dark and satirical and a very entertaining read.
As a kid I used to like Invader Zim and I also was always into dark horror books and such. I had heard that the creator of Invader Zim had previously wrote and drew a comic about a psychotic killer. Ever since, I had wanted to check out this comic but never found it anywhere. Years later, after I had practically forgotten all about Invader Zim and therefore the idea of the killer comic, a friend of mine in my senior year of high school let me borrow his issues of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac
Read this originally in my "dark" teen days, forgot about it until about a week ago. Read it again, still entertained, but not as much as I was when I was younger. The jarring letters also made it harder to read for me now.
I can see where all JV's other characters come from now. Loved the reference to Alien.
Best suited for teens. Contains very black humour, and for those who seek it, Vasquez does include some social commentary even though the content is very violent.
Well, more a memory than an actual review but... I read this and was super into it when I was in High school. Teen angst and such. And for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to take this comic to work. I worked at a pasta café as a cook/barista/ cashier... literally everything. And someone I worked with picked this up where I left it on the counter.... needless to say I was officially the creepy girl at work after that. Many concerns when I needed to use a knife for anything...woops.
