Never Read Cerebus. Never Read It. · 11:19pm Jul 29th, 2017
Just fucking don't okay?
Just it was something that turned into something completely else. And its just not fun and its depressing and by the end its become an insular comic book so lost within itself that it loses the comedy and became more book.
Also the last 35 issues are a tract on the authors weird mix of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
And that's not taking into effect the deeply antagonistic views he has on the homosexual-feminist alliance. Or the Male Light and Female Void.
It's literally toxic masculinity diluted into a comic book.
But feminists are bad for the world.
The only time that I've ever read anything with Cerebus in it was when he made a guest appearance in a few of the original Mirage Studios Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics, which had the very first appearance of both Renet and Savante Romeo in them.
And that's it.

Feminism is bad sure, I agree but it just got equally as tiring hearing an anti feminist rant as well. Both sides can have extremists and I'm definitely a left leaning centrist..
But hearing the author slowly turn from a slightly annoying self entitled author into a actively antagonistic person who almost seemingly becomes a paranoid hermit who loses all his comic book author friends due to his sheer anger at the world and have that derail almost any sense of plot in the comic. In a 300 issue series. Would have been an interesting change if he didn't spend fifty chapters writing about his own religious mixture of beliefs.
He looked at the comic and left it a book.

Personally, most of the first 200 issues aren't bad but the final third takes a turn once he has a religious conversion.
Earlier Cerebus is far more enjoyable.

Yeah, I heard about that one. Wasn't curious about it, so I never read those.
Well, the early issues are always the better ones, anyway.
