Johnny the Homicidal Maniac - what is it?
A 7 issue comic book series created by Jhonen Vasquez, following the life of a mentally unstable and tormented man, named Johnny.
Now, Johnny C. (Nny for short) talks to his inner voices reflected in inanimate objects, goes on many philosophical rants, terrorizes his little neighbor and most of all: kills people. A lot of people. Though most of his victims seem to have deserved their gory fate, as the story progresses, Nny seems to loose his focus and kills for rather petty reasons. Well now, I won’t ruin the plot for you. Read it for yourself.
The nature of the humor (Yes, this is in fact a very humorous series) is of course, rather dark, with ironic puns and most of all; satire.
" Hey, did you read the last issue of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac?"
" Dear Diary,
Today I stuffed some dolls full of dead rats I put in the blender. I'm wondering if maybe, there really is something wrong with me." - Nny
