Good book for the Jay and Silent Bob fans If you are aJay and Silent Bob fanboy and were wondering about their "adventures in the comic books mentioned in "Chasing Amy", then grab this book.
Good book dam it! The person going by A reader it wrong this book has rightfully earned the bluntman and chronic name, anyone who has read the entire book would know. This person going by a reader probly skiped every other line.
Gotta love those stoner (...)and fart jokes!! Okay so it's no William Shakespeare or Alan Moore but it's not suppose to be. Its crude humor at it's best. You really have to be a Kevin Smith fan to enjoy it. The artwork is pretty cool but I would much rather have seen Mike Allred do the book since he did the art in the movie, Chasing Amy. But we are graced with his pop art at the end with the one-shot Smith and Allred did awhile back. The only down side I guess is that it really doesn't take anything serious at all. In Smith's movies we usually get (...)jokes but there is always a serious side to it. But I don't think Smith was trying to do anything other than make us laugh with this book. If you want a serious side of Kevin Smith in comics go read his DareDevil or Green Arrow runs, but if you're looking for some good old fashion stoner, (...)jokes then this is for you. A must own for any Kevin Smith fan.
Snootch To The NOOTCH! This is excellent. It is very funny, and I love the art style.ALL U DIE HARD KEVIN SMITH FANS [God Bless you all] THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!!! BUY NOW!!!
Love Kevin Smith, but not this collection As much as I enjoy the self-referential humor in Kevin Smith's films, comic books and TV show, the BLUNTMAN & CHRONIC graphic novel--for me, anyway--represents the point where the snake head is finally eating its own tail. So ridiculously navel-gazing as to make even JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK seem accessible to non-Smith fans, this was a real disappointment, particularly since the CLERKS comics are so funny even if you don't know all of the View Askew minutia.
I'm thrilled that the upcoming JERSEY GIRL will be Smith's break from his enclosed universe, because B&C shows a deep well running very dry.
