comic links and "Kill Bill" commentary.
Mar. 20th, 2005 06:47 pmVery cool, bittersweet comic, a real-life story, highly recommended: http://www.momscancer.com/
The following isn't actually a full-hearted recommendation by me -- actually it annoyed me in several places; the creator seemed to be labouring under the delusion that several pages of wordless swordfight would translate as well in the comic medium as in the screen but I found them dead-boring instead; not to mention the cultural references I didn't get (who's Campbell? Who's Rick James? And what's with the monkeys?) -- still, if you will, check out the Kill Bill/Harry Potter parody: Kill Harry.
There was something magnicificently *creepy* about the concept itself: Hermione hunting down to kill Harry/Ron/Ginny/Luna/etc, the way that Beatrix Kiddo hunted down her former associates in Kill Bill. And I'm not really spoiling anything about the story here that's not obvious from the first page. If the swordfight bores you to tears just jump ahead to page 8 instead.
Loved Hermione's line in the final panel of page 10. :-)
Which reminds me. "Kill Bill" commentary:
( Mild spoilers for Kill Bill inside )
And lest I forget, the 5th Lyttle Lytton contest is under way, ending on April 15th.
