Review of
Tony Consiglio’s Double Cross Collection ISBN
9781329315075
Three out of five stars
This collection
of strips by the same artist over different topics does follow a theme that is
often seen in alternative comics, the artist seems to have a generalized dislike
for the world they find themselves in. The humor expressed in their comics is
often very morbid and in the extreme sense. Consiglio follows that pattern.
For example,
there are several short captions featuring “Dr. Physician Ph. D.” In these
captions, the “good” doctor receives a letter from a reader and the response is
that the doctor commits an extreme act of self-destruction. Rough humor for
sure.
If you are a
fan of dark humor based on extreme events where people get hurt and never have
what could be called a good time, then this book will appeal to you. However, if
such attempts at humor are not something you enjoy, then you would be better
served by passing on this book.
