Co-Host of the comic book and video game live show called The HAC/JAC Show reads Cerebus for the first time - and Cerebus issue #1 at that and calls it excellent and wants more https://twitter.com/dandy_spike/status/1296530725467021312

Reread in progress. New review of Cerebus #13: "Reading the Cerebus phone book in one sitting never allowed me to realize just how quickly this comic book finds itself and begins gaining momentum. It’s truly inspired that Dave Sim, by issue thirteen, has created so many wonderful characters and written so many gags that stuck for decades inside my head."

https://twitter.com/GrunionGuy/status/1294697437387296768

New review of issue #14: Lord Julius' first appearance is a banger. Dave Sim never once falters with Lord Julius' repartee. Solid gags throughout. Sim really is a master of dialogue and, to think, it only gets better.

[More on this tomorrow -Matt]

I used to have the entire Warren "the Spirit" run and just about all the others too. Great stuff.

Bear Toffoli shares a female Cerebus review: "...he has a very wide range of interesting female characters. They are drawn with care and respect, made to look very different, have different personalities and a couple are really awesome and badass. There is no gratuitous cheesecake, even Red Spohia who only wears a chainmail bikini is drawn more to emphasise innocent fun than sex. A couple of the volumes even pass the Bechdel Test..."

Jason Hart asks for an overview of "Cerebus in hell?" issues to date. Margaret Liss provides - see excell sheet in comments https://www.facebook.com/groups/cerebus/permalink/3225504217516931/

Christopher Woerner asks a pertinent question: Cerebus, how many buggids of scodge does it take to find the will of Tarim?
"Let's find out. One!" gulp "Tahoo!" gulp "Tree." SLICE "Buggid!"
...
The world may never know.
In the comments Margaret expands and illuminates

You Don't Know Jack, there's an Indiegogo. So go go Indy.

Don't forget "Cerebus in Hell? 4 Sell". With all the profits going to Aardvark-Vanaheim. Speaking of Cerebus in Hell? There's a new one: Spider-Whore! And this Wednesday, The Amicable Spider-Vark should be in stores, which is the lead in to Spider-Whore, which was SUPPOSED to be the immediate sequel, but Batvark: PENIS ended up taking Spider-Whore's slot when COVID-19 threw everything up into the air.

Speaking of Spider-Vark, A Moment of Cerebus is facilitating Aardvark/Vanaheim's auctioning of a signed copy of the mis-stapled The Amicable Spider-Vark #1. As soon as I get pictures, I'll show you what it looks like, but it's signed by Dave with a silver sharpie that was dying. It's a "Atwall 1 of 5". Bidding is at $100 American dollars (plus shipping) to Rich Laux.

And Signed copies of Vark Wars: Walt's Empire Strikes Back (Signed by Dave, Signed by Dave and me, Signed by me after I scribble out Dave's name, Pretty much available Signed only...)

Next Time: Pre-Cerebus Dave interview, WITH art!
