Johnny The Homicidal Maniac: Director’s Cut
Johnny The Homicidal Maniac: Director’s Cut
Mayhem and violence rule in this collection of issues one through seven of Jhonen Vasquez’s Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, as well as material seen before only in Carpe Noctem magazine. Dark and disturbingly funny, JTHM follows the adventures of Johnny (you can call him Nny), who lives with a pair of styrofoam doughboys that encourage his madness, a wall that constantly needs a fresh coat of blood, and–oh, yeah–his victims in various states of torture. Join Nny as he frightens the little boy next door (Todd, known to fans of Vasquez’s work as Squee), thirsts for Cherry Brain Freezies, attempts suicide, draws Happy Noodle Boy, and tries to uncover the meaning of his homicidal existence.
User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars For Adults Only
Foolishly I let my 15year old son have this as a birthday gift. I’m a huge Invader Zim fan and figured that it would be along the same line. It is… but it is 100% for adults only. My son had it a week before I read it. I got about a quarter in and had to stop. It’s brilliantly writen and a work of art for sure, but not for everyone.
Think “Dexter” meets “Saw” meets “Invader Zim.” All the wit of Zim plus buckets of blood, gore and adult content.
Just make sure the person you buy it for is an adult. I wish it would have come with a warning! Lesson learned.
5 Stars Homicidal
This book is worth it’s money. It has so many different story’s and is just flat out fun to read! so if you like Ivader Zim you will defenatally like (Johnny The Homicidal Maniac)
5 Stars Intelligent, thoughtful, and hilarious
Here we have the entire collection of Nny. This book is violent, repugnant, and yet still amazing. With its charming wit, deadpan humor, and brilliant character interactions, this book is a well-deserved 5-star.
5 Stars brain explody
OMG… This was some of the funniest and darkest humor Ive encountered… Johnny… Nny for short had me rolling
5 Stars Best ever
For any who have not had the joy of viewing any of Jhonen Vasquez’s work this is the best there is.
