“Wow.
I didn’t know what to expect from this one, a collection written and illustrated by a dude who was making his nut drawing pornographic comics, but wow.
If you’re into punky, Transmetropolitan-type stuff, this is a great read. It’s creative, new, and almost every page has something new to offer, whether it be a zombie war in Korea or a cat that can duplicate a key by swallowing it.
With this kind of comic, I often worry that it will just come out like a bunch of nonsense, a bunch of cool ideas jammed into a tiny space. But King City holds it together. The supplementary material at the end of this volume isn’t quite so coherent and really did a job showing me how this could have turned out in less careful hands.
This was my biggest surprise of 2012, and it was a great one.”
