Maybe it gets better. A lot of reviewers liked it.May try later editions but not too sure. ( ) This is the first volume collecting the long-running comic book Cerebus by Canadian cartoonist Dave Sim. I learned about this from friends online, and thought a comic about an anthropomorphic aardvark mercenary in a medieval fantasy setting sounded delightfully absurd. After reading it, I found it kind of a slog. This first volume of Cerebus is several unconnected stories satirizing both medieval fantasy tropes and politics with many of the stories concluding anti-climatically. Cerebus is serious, amoral, and competent and often plays the straight man to ridiculous characters around him (including an albino who speaks like Foghorn Leghorn). I've heard that later volumes in the series are much better, but I'm on the bubble about reading further, (especially since I've read that Sim is a creepy misogynist and his views are expressed in the comics). A fast change comes over the work of Dave Sim when he got his comic book about the adventures of an apparent stuffed Aardvark into print. He had to do it all himself, but he thus maintained a unique personal vision. In this first volume we cover the birth of the earth-pig and his growth from a competent satire of a Conan-like action hero into the centre-piece of a wonderful comic kaleidoscope. A must read, especially for all fans of sword-wearing fantasy. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
