I went back and reread the whole arc after Harlock posted the link in another post, and it's true. It reads even better all as once.

Of course, I love almost everything Terry Gilliam has done, too, so take the above with a grain of salt.

Oh yea, the comic.  This is great.  I, too, did a spit take at "bonch"

Jough has a mediocre opinion of Achewood.
