Gargoyles: Bad Guys Comic Number 1 Review

Very entertaining. Keep up the great work. And screw the dress code, show off your package as much as you want.

I concur with your evaluation of music lyrics used in comics, unless its *really* well done and relevant it shouldn’t be done. Thank you for a video shot from the waist up.

This Gargoyle is now under DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION for code violations and leaking internal documents.

YOU DON’T OWN ME SHIPLEY!

I’m glad me and my package have support.

As for music, I would have been okay with if maybe if no text was going on and the words had some subtle reference to the comic, but they really did not. It’s like when I’m watching an anime and some music comes on while there’s dialog and they’re both subtitled! I can’t follow…

hi aDam, I’ve been seen your reviews on the gargoyles’ comics and like your work.
I see you are also into the anime and soo, so I guess it will be a bit easyer to explain myself.

I have to disagry with your dislike for the little music notes, its a referens to him talking kinda singging or chanting (dunno how to say), its easy to see that in some mangas (that or a cloudlike bubble)…
I do have to agree with you in my dislike for the lyrics and characters subtitles at the same time

again thank you for the reviews on the comics.

I just don’t see what I got from it. If there was some subtext to the lyrics I didn’t get it and if there wasn’t then I think little music notes would have been fine.

As far as manga goes I can’t off the top of my head think of any that do this. I’m not terribly well versed in US comics to think of any other examples, though I’m sure it’s been done.

i think ive seen those notes in the Black Cat manga, but i cant but I’m not shure, of what I am is in the manga Chobits of CLAMP (the character Plum), and perhaps in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (think I’ve seen Fye) of the same group. In a part where Plum is ordering some clothes she starts singing a kinda Barny song to order the mess (at least thats how I understood it), its up to the reader to imagine how the music goes.

it really doesnt have to be an existing lyric, it can be somthing madeup to fit the words ore even a mocking tone ore something like that….

*topples over with laughter* OMG I am so never going to live down forgetting to colour in those pants before I delivered!! I only noticed once the book was in print. Good lord…

By the way… the lyrics in Sydney are actually from the boom box the aborigine guy is listening to on the bench: Matrix copied the boom box in the “present time” after having seen it in the flashback.

Lyrics are from a W.I.T.C.H. episode. I never watched the show myself, but Greg worked on it, so… I guess it’s a nod to the fans.

Next issue is coming out soon; issue 3 has been picked up by Chris Jones, because I got way to busy with everything from illness to kids’ illness to 2nd-job-that-actually-pays-the-bills. I’m currently working on issue 4. Issues 2, 3 and 4 will be coming out close together to catch up for my lateness.

Thanks for doing these reviews… they are hilarious and a good stroke for my ego.

Haha. I would never have noticed, let alone drawn attention to it, were it not for the whole pantless thing!

Hm… would never have noticed the lyrics thing. I have a few issues of that W.I.T.C.H. comic but I haven’t seen much of the show.

Thanks for the support. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Just came and read, this is wow! I was seek from many blogs, but here is the best, I love it.
