Oh, I'm 100% down for all of those things when they're done well, and the praise leads me to believe that's the case despite my reservations, so I'll probably pick up the first volume when I get the chance (and I'll post my thoughts on it here if that happens). I just haven't given it the time of day yet mainly because... it seems like it's trying
way too hard. Like it was designed by a vast committee of stereotypical 14-year old boys to be the edgiest thing they could think of at all times.
Like, Quincannon is a psychotic KKK member with a Nazi dominatrix secretary and a meat sex doll? The sheriff is a bigoted asshole who essentially fucks himself to death with his own severed dick? Arseface shot himself not because of a personal mistake, but because Kurt Cobain was a thing?
Things like the Saint of Killers, the Grail, and what little I've heard about how they handle the absentee God pique my curiosity, but things like what I've spoilered just make me cringe, because they seem like things I might have written when I was a young teen. I'm generally more in tune with the show's grey-and-grey morality than the comic's apparent black-and-dark grey nihilism. Maybe it's just a matter of me reading
about these things instead of seeing them in their context, though. I will more than likely give it a fair shot.
