And what you'll leave with is far scarier than any spook house frights the fear of looking deeply at yourself in the mirror and finding a monster (or nothing) in your place." - Gareth Branwyn - Boing Boing There are plenty of hysterical Darwin Award-worthy situations in Megahex, but that's not likely to be your takeaway. But there's so much lurking beneath the seemingly superficial surfaces - questions about friendship, loyalty, love, drug addiction, sexual identity, and hopelessness. It would be easy to dismiss Megahex as another stoner comic. "Megahex… is an existential stoner tale that is part Furry Freak Brothers, part Beavis and Butt-Head, and part Jean Paul Sartre (with some Jackass thrown in for good measure)…. He Captures that stoner stay-at-home life so accurately that I actually find his comics really depressing and thank God I don't ever have to hang out with anybody like that ever again." - Daniel Clowes "For a series about slackers, these books are remarkably emotionally visceral and intense." - High-Low
