I’m not punk, which is presumably why I didn’t get much outta this.

At the center of this story is a proudly anachronistic family of punks in modern-day England. They are generally-happy people with common problems who find themselves mixed up in an implausible madcap adventure. It's a soap-opera, comedy, and children's cartoon in one, and it is written with a level of wit and compassion uncommon in graphic novels.
Note: The sequel to this book (Ground Zero) proves that the written word carries the story even in a graphic novel, because the artwork was awful and I still got misty-eyed towards the end.

My sister lent me this book ages ago and I adored it, so as I mentioned in a previous post, when feeling guilted into spending money at the local comic book store, I knew it was a safe bet. Unfortunately the printing I purchased was a little low-quality. On several pages, part of word balloons were cut off the top of the page. Lame. So maybe not the best material for recruiting new readers, no matter how cute Skank Zero is.
But the story itself is great fun. The basic idea: what happens when two punk rock legends get married, move to the suburbs, and have four kids?

I have been on a streak of great comics, so it was sad to have such a bad experience here. The volume had a lot of abrupt transitions, characters that felt like cookie cutter stereotypes, and poor pacing. I did not like it at all. I am sad that I bought the second volume already before reading this one.

I expected more, but it was a cute story and a creative idea.

Not perfect, but it has its moments and its concept is fresh enough to stay interesting.
