![]() ![]() I think the book really shines in the section where Megg mourns the pending loss of her sick mother (only mentioned, very briefly). It's the same way I feel whenever I binge-watch Always Sunny-after one too many episodes, I just can't handle another 20 minutes of horrible people being horrible to each other. Taken as a whole, it feels a little trying. That's my problem with Megahax: taken in pieces, I absolutely love it. ![]() I want to print it out as a poster and hang it above my bed. ![]() I want to make it a patch and sew it on my favorite jacket. "I'm a fucking rich bitch," she says with a cigarette poised by her mouth. One of my favorites is a panel of Megg at a children's birthday party, black robes drawn up over hair legs as she sits on a pony. But some single panels are so fucking funny. At times I felt like it tried to be edgy just to be edgy, in the vein of Zap! comics. It's definitely supposed to make you squirm. The vulgarity made me uncomfortable-some drawn-out and graphic jokes about sexual assault, or even just images of the trio's filthy apartment. They are all terrible people who terrorize each other endlessly. Megahex is a collection of Simon Hanselman's Life Zone comics, which follow Megg, a witch, Mogg, her cat-lover, and Owl, their deadbeat roommate. I'm hesitant about recommending Megahex to people, because it's so weird that people will either really dig it or think I'm insane for suggesting it. ![]()
