Sherlock

What were they thinking? Seriously? When I heard that the Japanese magazine named Young Ace was going to serialize an adaptation of the hit BBC series, Sherlock, I knew it was going to be bad. Recently I read the first chapter of the manga, and rest assured, it was the only chapter that I will read. The manga is comparable to Batman: Child of Dreams. For those of you who have never had the misfortune of reading that, I am saying that this manga belongs in the dustbin. It's true that I am heavily biased against medium hopping, but in this case, it's a terrible adaptation of an adaption of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.
MFW reading Sherlock
That's on the first page of the chapter, so you know, right from the start that it's gonna be bad. Nice. Also, what a waste of a colored page. Seriously

That nose is not proportional. This bothers me. 
And the drawings look pretty bat too. The noses seriously bug me. It's not a laughing matter.

Remember that riding-crop scene? She wasn't there
But that's all I've got to say on this travesty. Until I decide what I should badly review next, have fun and read comics.

Trubble Club

With a name like Trubble Club, you know that it's gonna be off the hook. In fact, Trubble Club is so off the hook that the hook itself turned into a horrifying monster and is attempting to preform unspeakable sexual acts with a lamppost. That being said, this comic is not for kids. It is completely terrifying.
wut
Trubble Club is actually a collective of underground comix artists from Chicago, making some of the most mind boggling stuff I have ever seen. And I've read Black Hole by Charles Burns. Regardless, you're in for a number of laughs, that number being uncountable though less then the moments of absolute disgust and general confusion.




You can read a select group of their comics at their blog, http://blog.trubbleclub.com/, and buy some of their issues....somewhere....I actually have no idea. Join me next time as I laugh at the sub-par pile of regurgitated content that is known as the manga adaptation for the hit BBC series Sherlock. It is terrible
