I remember I liked this series at first. Started out decent enough, got a few honest laughs out of me, not great but suitably entertaining.

But after a while, it started feeling... uncomfortable. The attitude towards women gradually got creepier and creepier. What started out as harmless little jokes about getting laid a lot, started feeling more and more gross (the "easy chick" gravestone was a real red flag that the humor was going to get less and less Futurama, and more and more Family Guy).

I finally had enough when Mary, who simply asked a perfectly innocent question about what her husband-to-be was doing, got "put to her place" by the best man and basically told that she had to shut up and never question the groom or expect him to include her in his decisions in any way, shape or form. She should have called off the marriage there and then.

I feel like knowing Kirkman was 22 when this came out puts it all in context. I mean it's still gross, but coming from basically a kid it makes more sense.

What the hell did I just read?

Robert Kirkman: The Early Years.

I love that only, like, two people were saved. Are we sure that the world didn't end on one of the many recently predicted Doomsday dates and "the Rapture" isn't just a handful of missing persons cases?

"Pick Me! Pick Me! I went to church three times!" is a pretty accurate impression of some "religious" people I know of but - as an agnostic - I really take offense to "a world without religion is a world without morals"

Also I've seen enough of this before now to know (a) its not for me and (b) Jesus has some great t-shirts.

...It's like Chronicles of Wormwood and God Is Dead porked each other and had a hellspawn.

Still preferable to Ennis's versions.

And Mike Costa's, too.

I'd rather play Saints Row: Gat Outta Hell
