Alright, let's do this.
I promised I would storytime this for the next weekend of pain since I consider it one of the least drawn comics I've ever seen. You'll understand what I mean once we get on with it.
I'll start with the preview from the Green Lantern/Space Ghost Annual which is drawn by a different artist and thus has much better art.

I'm considering doing "To Those Who'd Ground Me" from Dumbing of Age next (the toedad car chase storyline) but I'm not sure if it would need some background to it.
Man I forgot this part of the HB books.
How was Ennis' Dastardly and Muttley
that was pretty good
alright, here we go with the main comic
whoops that was a repeat of the preview
remember to bump if you're reading
Don't see the problem really. Shitty backgrounds yeah but he makes up for it with the style.
The problem isn't the backgrounds.
You'll understand what the actual problem is as we go along.
For some reason it feels like Kyle Baker working under a pseudonym
It's a very new artist, only worked on some previous HB Beyond covers before this as their first comic.
Do it please, you can add background info as you dump, i've always wanted to see what toedad was.
aight, I'll give it a go.
Maybe later this day or tomorrow
Looked him up apparently he did an Image comic Mercenary Sea as Mathew Reynolds. I dig the style, very expressive.
the style's ok, but it has a critical flaw
the next couple pages are a good example of what I'm referring to
You're mad about repeating panels and decided it's terrible enough for a SoP?
second panel in that first page is the exact same panel as the last panel in the second page, bruh
yikes
it's more than just repeating panels, user.
this is probably one of the the biggest examples of copy paste art in the comic
and here we go, look at this shit
How was this considered acceptable for a commercial comic release?
Oof
I mean, yeah, there's cut and paste art. But I don't see how this is anywhere near SoP worthy.
it's because there's some form of cut and paste on literally every page
I remember reading issue 1 and the jokes in it being mediocre. I can only imagine how shit it can get further on.
reminder to bump
Bump
ok, we're done. Just have some covers to post.
I'll probably do Dumbing of Age next if someone has either a download for Book 6 or a rip of all the comics from the storyline:

It was really good
and there we go
thank y'all for reading
How many times are they gonna copy paste that fucking face
I counted at least 50 times
What a weird book.
a bunch of the HB Beyond books were pretty weird
RISE
bro you ain't gonna resurrect a thread unless you have something to talk about
>a cautionary tale in six parts
What's it cautioning against? Agents? Ponzi schemes? Ctrl + C and the power that it brings?
making adaptations without any real connections to the original media.
Well I'm convinced.
>That copypasta face
Oh dear
The time I'm really confused about is why they didn't get Howard Chaykin to draw the main comic when he did the preview issue.
>Roy Raymond
Man, first Abel from House of Secrets, now this. Chaykin loves his cameos...
If I remember right, he was doing United States of Hysteria at around the same time as this.
>Copypasta art
>Story that goes on way too fucking long
>Story hardly seems to have any sort of point
>Absolutely awful real-world analogies
Yeah, this is SOP material, 100%. Thanks for digging up this stinker OP.
I'm retarded, what word is *#%@ supposed to be?
no prob
Like I said, Chaykin loves his cameos
I'm wondering more about why they got the artist they did for this comic. I've never even heard the name Mac Rey before but a big of digging tells me he's done a bunch of variant covers and this is his first go at n actual.
I'm gonna make a generous guess and assume that he was completely out of his depth on this job and the only way he was able to make his deadlines was by resorting to a lot of copy paste art.
I say it was one of the best, up there with Russell's Flintstones.
>his first go at an actual comic.
whoops.
>I'm gonna make a generous guess and assume that he was completely out of his depth on this job and the only way he was able to make his deadlines was by resorting to a lot of copy paste art.
yeah that seems kinda likely
Hell, he even used copy paste in his covers for the damn comic.
The weird thing is Chaykin drawing it himself seems more natural to me than Mac Rey doing it. Also I wonder if they changed the looks just because H-B started getting upset about the adult humor in it.
Neat.
Ah, another dose of Chaykin bitching about the TV industry - I believe the last time was that shitty American Flagg story he did for a CBLDF fund-raiser
United States of Hysteria?
Oh, he shoved that in there too? I haven't read it, was it as big a shitshow as everyone says it was?
I mean just look at some of the covers
... I see.
Yup
Man, what happened to Chaykin?
He went into TV... which ironically is how we got shit like The Ruff & Reddy Show
Is this a jab to Gabby Rivera's America?
