When the original [a:Igloo Tornado|3521130|Igloo Tornado|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] versions of the mini comics came into the store I was working at, I loved them. The fictional couple of Glenn Danzig and Henry Rollins's relationship being constantly imperiled by Glenn's overly-friendly Christian mom? Satanic rituals gone wrong? Hall & Oates trying to help out but only half-heartedly? It was fantastic. And that whole five star story is in here, along with all the beautiful homage variant covers they did.
It gets knocked down a star merely because they appear to have included mini-stories by any artist who wanted to be involved, which is super cool of them, but apart from [a:Ed Luce|5833172|Ed Luce|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1487706293p2/5833172.jpg]'s [b:Wuvable Oaf|26253404|Wuvable Oaf|Ed Luce|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1441749794s/26253404.jpg|41832018] crossover, and a few others, none of them are quite as fun or visually appealing as the original artist's work.
I recommend this to anyone who loves Danzig or Rollins, hates Danzig or Rollins, wishes comics were more fun, thinks slash featuring Slash is a good idea, or just wants to be pleasantly surprised about how ultimately wholesome a comic about queer satanist rock stars can be. Pretty much anyone.

OMG, I just got a copy of this graphic novel (does it qualify as a graphic novel, or would this be a comic? I'm not sure, as I've read very little in this genre, but either way...), and it's HILARIOUS. Henry Rollins + Glenn Danzig + Hall & Oates as Satanists = Henry & Glenn Forever. If you've ever loved (or hated) any of these musicians, you need to grab a copy from Microcosm today. These little parody comics are priceless.

This made me laugh so much! What a silly little book. Read it!

This was a bizarre little comic, the fictional premise of which is the musicians Henry Rollins and Glen Danzig are lovers living together in a cute house in suburbia. And Next door lives Daryl and John Oates...and they're Santanists. I was going to give it 3 stars, but it deserves an extra one for sheer hutzpah.

A friend bought this for me when I live in Baltimore, and it made my month! People looking for a "high quality" comic here need to keep in mind that this is a home-grown, comical parody of punk rock icons. A glossy cover and fancy illustrations would be the antithesis of punk rock. Needless to say, I love it.
