I love Invader Zim. Just putting that out there. Yup... Okay, no more avoiding the topic. I had high hopes for SWBGBoUH, mostly because I read some of it on Google Books and amazon's preview. "Man," I thought, "This looks fantastic!" I immediately added it to my cart! Unfortunately, the big graphic novel glitch cancelled my order, and I had to wait a long time for it to get back in stock, raising my hopes further. When it arrived, I noticed I had already read most of the Squee side of the book, which was mostly great. So I moved on to the second half of random stuff Jhonen made at the same time. Some of this stuff was very clever,But at other times it just fell flat on it's face. For example, the comic about the movie that completely relied on shock value had me busting a gut, but the "Wobbly-Headed Bob" comic just made me depressed. It's like he wasn't even trying to put a funny spin on these horrible situations. Ultimately I'd give this book a higher score if I had not already seen so much of it, so as long as you want to support Jhonen and read this book, I'd just ignore what I said and not read it online, because it really is a good book fort he most part. I'll let you make your own decision.Get more detail about Squee's Wonderful Big Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors.
