Family Guy has often been compared to as a “low brow Simpsons knock-off.” Though crash and crude, it’s extremely clever, especially in it’s parodies. So, I’m not so sure about the fore-mentioned comparison in regards to the TV show, but the Family Guy comic book is no Simpsons! The jokes, which often involve a quick cut to another person or a flashback, just doesn’t work. Plus, the art is a poor rendition of the Griffin clan.
What I did enjoy very much was on this FCBD issue’s flip side: Hack/Slash. Here, a young girl whose mother was a serial killer takes revenge on other serial killers along with a hideous strong man sidekick. Now, this is a series that though crude, crash, AND gory, it had something that was fresh and extremely entertaining. It’s kind of a darker, slightly less tongue-in-cheek version of The Goon.
I would love to get my hands on their further adventures.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 6 out of 10 stars.
