you get this panel and then 2-3 panels later you get hit over the head with the rock of suffering. I think you can do grimdark but it felt like eating dark chocolate and then rinsing it down with the bitterest coffee
like zero trace of anyone talking about The Scum Laugh it's actually surprising me for some reason but because of that I feel like I'm at the bus stop at rock bottom in spongebob. It had good art, but it just felt sad to read like damn nobody having a good time period.
Like Haut was so cute, and then it's like wow this is miserable. Then it was so cute, then it just got miserable and now its just miserable. Don't even let me think of Deseo's chapter.
Leviticus also looks pretty good I'll definitely give it a watch if the marketing keeps up. It feels wrong to say but even without watching it, the parallels of it and The Summer Hikaru Died are something I notice. I really do need to watch it though.
Even if Mickey 17 wasn't received as warmly as Parasite (fucking beast to try to top) I'll always appreciate the vastly different scale it took and the entire cast's work on it, not to mention how memorable the entire day it was the day I watched it.
