What's /co/'s opinion about this comic?
>>77362757
Interesting concept, didn't have a good start, but it's worth giving a chance.
>>77362757
Terrible Edgy Tryhardness
Like a poor man's Vasquez
Skottie should stick to drawing, not writing
Stupid shit.
>>77362757
the main characters kills people who most of the time don't deserve to be killed. to the point that it starts to become so edgy.
>>77362824
Yeah it did have a rushed introduction, I'm hoping the backstory will be worth it.
It'sfun
>>77362826
>>77362864
>edgy
I'm constantly amazed at how triggered by violence people on /co/ are.
>>77362934
I'm pretty amazed you don't know what edgy means.
>>77362757
Edgy tryhard waste of time.
>>77362757
I'm interested
What's the story?
>>77362934
>comic is made to be edgy
>getting mad that it's being called edgy
Or are you talking about yourself, anon that is also another person on /co/.
>>77362757
>"How can children not want to Kill fantasy characters?"
>Skottie "Sephiroth the Hedgehog" Young
>>77362952
Little girl who's actually a grown woman with stunted growth gets transported to a magical la-la land with sunshine and rainbows. She hates everything for reasons, so she proceeds to fuck everyone's shit up in boring ways.
>>77362971
Do you mean her growth was stunted WHEN she got transported to fairyland? Or she was stunted before she even got there?

>>77362955
Oh so all these people saying "edgy" are actually complimenting the book by reiterating the creator's intention?
Cause I thought they were just meme-ing about how unacceptable "the wrong kind of humor and violence" is in a medium that caters to teenagers in the first place.
>>77362977
I don't know I barely even read the damn thing. I skimmed the storytime last week on /co/.
>>77362977
After she got there. She was transported when she was actually a little girl, and has been there for 20 something years, still in a little girl's body.
>>77362757
read the first issue, didn't really care for it
which is sad really because there's a lot someone could door with child going into fairy tale land and it being dark and creepy. fairy takes themselves are already dark. I mean you have stuff like cinderella's stepsister cutting off her heel.
but the comic itself is just WATCH THIS WACKY CUTE "GIRL" VOMIT, FLIP PEOPLE OFF, AND KILL OTHER CUTE PEOPLE! LOOK HOW OUTRAGEOUS I AM!
if that's your thing then great, but the thing had no substance to me
I tried to read the comic, but I kept cutting my self on the comic's edge. My doctor told me I had to stop or I'd bleed out.
It's fun, colorful, and "edgy-on-purpose." Anyone who complained about the edge is a retard, but if that isn't your thing, then don't read it.
>>77362757
Yotsuba, what did they do to you?
>>77363090
>you aren't allowed to complain about things that are done on purpose
babby's first critical analysis.
go to sleep.
>>77363096
kek'd my privilege right there m'lady.
>>77363104
No, it's more that if you're really that mad at the edge, why did you even read, when it's literally the driving force of the book?
>>77362757
It's like johnny the homicidal maniac except without the good writing, humor, and self-awareness
>>77363115
That, I had a three paragraph bullshit thing typed, but this is better.
>>77363135
JTHM was also fairly original at the time. Today it would probably go pretty unnoticed.
>>77363139
Sometimes it takes an outsider anon
>>77362977
When she arrived. She's been trapped in Fairyland for around thirty years and is actually a forty-something woman in a little girl's body.
She's become embittered, violent, and possibly deranged from all her time trying to find a way home.
>>77362757
WOW! I didn't know they made a prequel comic to DmC!!!
>>77363135
>without the good writing, humor
So, like JTHM?
Squee > I Feel Sick >>>> JTHM
>>77362757
It is a very edgy comic. It is such an edgy comic, that I'm surprised DC didn't publish it. I could just imagine edgy Gertrude hanging out with edgy buzzcut Superman while riding on his edgy motorcycle and edgyly beating up LGBT with the edgy Batgirl. It would be so edgy.
But is being edgy really a bad thing?
No one's ever really explained this to me.
Whats wrong with edgy? Not mature enough for you?
>>77363164
This ain't your grandma's Goldilocks and the Snoozefest fairy tale!
>drills
>Danish/German name
Shit girl. All Danes and Germans are subhumans.
>>77363135
I strongly suggest you don't go back and read JTHM. Sure, you remember it fondly now, but believe me anon. I made the mistake of reading it again and it's cringeworthy.
>>77362757
an interesting premise ruined because Skottie is a shitty writer
At least there's cumulus cleavage.
It isn't good. Reminds me of The Unfunnies, except the art is pretty good.
>>77362757
its cute, but considering he did the oz and return to oz comics, and those were better, i would rather read them than this
that being said, alot of what sold those oz ones were the art anyway, so
>>77362955
>>77363366
wheres the porn of the queen
>>77363135
Johnny the Homicidal Maniac is garbage, you probably only liked it because you were an edgy teen when you first read it.
I don't dislike it because of the violence, I dislike it because it isn't at all funny.
>>77363428
Non-existent, just like all the stuff of aged-up Gertrude.
>>77362757
Stupid.
>>77363437
This is garbage too though.
>>77363504
Does that stop the other from being garbage?
>>77363504
Yes, of course.
It sucks
>>77364049did this guy ever draw more of this
>>77362757
There's an appealing simplicity to it
>>77363210
Good question
No storytime?
>>77364305
If anyone has scans or digital maybe.
>>77364305
It's probably in the archive.
>>77363210
>But is being edgy really a bad thing?
There're types and types of edge. When you're being edgy and you want people to take you seriously, you come across as a tryhard and stupid. But there're some authors that can pull off edge, and you get the idea that they're not taking it seriously as well, so it's more acceptable...
I think of Mark Millar.
Volume 1 od Ultimate Avengers is the kind of edgy bullshit that seems to think it's being cool and mature.
Ultimate Avengers II is so fucking over the top violent, brutal, tits and sex and satan and demons and cool oneliners that I get the feeling Millar himself wasn't taking it seriously, and it becomes enjoyable.
The first issue was better than I thought.
All early indications made this look like some try-hard edgy comic where the little girl just goes around murdering with impunity, but there's actually a story there so, hey, lowered expectations can really help you enjoy something you thought you wouldn't have.
contreversial but i can dig how edgy it is
It's entertaining in a non thought provocative manner.
>>77364430
stupid fun
>>77362757
Oddly compelling. I want to know what happens next. As rough as the kid grew into, I still have no sympathy for the cloud queen lady that put her in this predicament, and genuinely home Gertrude can find some kind of happy ending.
edgy garbage, no real writting, generic shock value aimed at 12 years old. I can see why so many sheltered white people love it on /co/mblr it's so insipid and falsely politically incorrect they flock around it like flies on fresh shit.
>>77364585
the amount of buzzwords in the post is hilarious.
>>77364614
Perhaps he pulled it from a reply generator. It's written in a generic way that is so non-specific that he could post it in any thread an nobody would know where it originated.
>>77364636
i can see it becoming a pasta
>>77363421
No anon.
Nothing will ever be like The Unfunnies.
>>77362967
>"Sephiroth the Hedgehog"
I giggled
It's really bad at handling it's premise.
We get really no reason why these people are so annoying, when the vast majority are not.
The girl is just a bitch.
>>77365226
Yet.
>>77365226
The girl was a normal girl that went insane over time.
>>77365274
Because she's taken decades to complete a quest that should have taken one day.
She's a moron, and the people so far are friendly.
>>77365299
She ate the local food and was unable to eave therefore
>>77362757
both youngs art and writing rmeind me of someone who stopped developing artistically in the fifth grade, which is fine if youre into that sort of thing
>>77365299
If it were that easy why they just didn't completed it for her and sent her back when she started causing trouble? Why is there a law impeding the queen from harming the guests? I suspect that she was not supposed to survive to begin with. The entrance in the world was brutal, nobody cared about her wounds instead acting with indifference about her condition. Probably they make use of loopholes to kidnap and kill children. Since they can't kill directly they bring them through a huge fall and immediately send them in an impossible quest so they can die on their way.
>>77365452
That's also the opposite of the premise
>>77365487
Like if baiting and them taking to the opposite direction never happens in story telling right? The allies never turn out to actually be enemies right? But they said they come in peace at the begin of the movie!
>body of a little girl
>mind of an adult woman
>>77365600
No, it just seems like a cop out at this point.
Either make them annoying or not
>>77365452
She is in a magic world but nobody never said it is a nice magic world and a nice magic world wouldn't need hired killers.
>>77365607
The queen is using loopholes to kill her. This is not a guess, it was right in the comic.
Man, it's only been one issue, guys.
give it a chance to develop the world and premise. You'd complain there was too much exposition of they answered everything right away.
He kinda went back on his premise, didn't he? Wasn't it supposed to be "How do kids in fairy tales deal with the inhabitants without going crazy and killing everything"?
Having her be an adult in a kid's body kinda messes with that point. It seems like a kid in mind and body doing that would be hard to pull off anyway because murdering everyone left and right would be the last thing on a child's mind.
>>77365452
>If it were that easy why they just didn't completed it for her and sent her back when she started causing trouble?
There seems to be a set of rules that some inhabitants have to follow regarding the children that fall down there. They might not actually be able to do that for her or else they would have by now.
You can't count out the fact that other kids down there and completed the quest with little to no problems in a time much shorter than Gert did, and It isn't impossible to think that She might just be really bad at what she was supposed to do to complete her journey. They even sent her off with someone who had a map.
As for the rule, the king that made that rule might have done so as a "Just in case" type of thing before any kids actually fell down there.
>>77365635
>The queen is using loopholes to kill her
Yeah but that didn't happen until after Gert violently killed the living moon and stars and their remains started raining down in her.
>>77362757
Right now all I want is a slug fest between the main girl and the queen; all their issues on the table.
>>77365663
>You can't count out the fact that other kids down there and completed the quest with little to no problems in a time much shorter than Gert did
What kids? We haven't seen any of them.
>Yeah but that didn't happen until after Gert violently killed the living moon and stars and their remains started raining down in her.
Doesn't eliminates the possibility that the original plan was for her to die anyway. But since it failed she decided to do it herself just to be stopped by the law that she promptly evaded by using a loophole. If anything she seems pretty fast at finding and using loopholes.
Also the moon is not dead.
>>77362990
It's supposed to be edgy. Everything that tries to be, "what if something cute for children did something adult or voilent" is. The problem is that by now, it's not a unique concept, and even then, being edgy for edgyness sake never has been interesting outside of the 10-17 age demographic.
>>77362757
Boring premise, juvenile in the blandest way possible, and kind of one-note. The art is nice.
>>77366120
Is the comic aimed at the 10-17 demographic?
>>77365487
The premise that a magic world is not as nice as it sounds? It is spot on with the premise!
>>77366821
It is pretty nice though.
The girl is just stupid
>>77362934
This is a hyper-active 10 year old boy's idea of edgy. It's not all that edgy in comparison to most things but it's still kind of stupid if you don't have the same mindset.
>>77366836
It isn't. It was made pretty clear from the begin where instead of entering the world in a happy and fun way she got in by a scary, brutal and painful way, nobody gave a shit that a small child had an exposed fracture, this "nice" world have prisons, dungeons and murders. You are just an idiot who needs everything written on your face to understand a story.
>>77363475
>aged-up
>>77366907
>and murders.
That she seems to be committing.
And fantasy worlds have dungeons. Always.
Even Oz had dungeons.
>>77366836
SLUG LIFE
>>77366927
She is not the only murder in this magic world.
>>77366946
Probably the only mass murderer so far.
>>77366948
Shouldn't they be more scared of her them? In a nice world a devil start killing, devouring and destroying everything and in 30 years nobody managed to stop her. At this point people wouldn't try to stop her, they would just run for their lives. She would be the equivalent of a hurricane. When you see a hurricane you don't try to stop it, you just look for a safe place and hope that it will spare you.
