![]() ![]() The whole concept is fucked up - the more sinful life you lead, the better off you are in Resurrection (which is the ''official name'' of this place). Yeah, what a fucking bitch, right? That's where you're supposed to feel sorry for Heinrich, by the way. I recommend skipping the author's prefaces in general, if you just want to enjoy the comic books for what they are and not bother with the author's personal political and moral litanies, which leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth (unless you're a Nazi, of course) - especially when Heinrich's ex-lover, a Jewish woman, gets shit for using Heinrich and gaining power over him through sex and manipulation because she didn't want to be gassed. I ''like'' Otto because he's a charming badass (still a Nazi, I know), but don't go around suggesting your readers should feel sympathy towards Nazis. The author himself said in one of the introductions that the MC was somehow likeable, as far as Nazis go. The main character, Heinrich, (a knight who's called ''honorable'' on multiple instances) is a Nazi. ![]() There you go, a sentence I'd never thought I'd say.

Pastis has assembled an eccentric and funny cast (running gags revolve around Total’s voracious appetite and a librarian who looks like one of the Hells Angels), yet there are also touching interactions to be found. ![]() Lincoln Peirce, creator of the Big Nate series For Timmy Failure, success is the only option! Pastis crafts a great story starring an unforgettable protagonist whose unorthodox approach to detective work (and world domination) will have readers in stitches. It's original and quirky, with real heart. Timmy Failure is a fabulously fun read and the line drawings are a treat.

Luckily, we have only a glimpse of her time caged with a sickly two-headed lamb for company before she is purchased to join a much larger Freak Show. Sheba, the sweetest, kindest, most compassionate little wolf-girl to ever walk the earth, narrates for us. Despite the vast differences among them, and deplorable living conditions they offer support and form a formidable team. The most unlikely of pals, our cast of characters have been tossed together due to circumstances far beyond their control.
