Summary: The Funniest Book I've read in a long time.
Review: Vasquez is a master of writing about the odd stuff no one wants to talk about. He pushes the envelope of good taste, but makes it very humorous.

Summary: Thought JTHM was a little too much? Try Squee!
Review: Jhonen Vasquez' sick little mind has produced a wonderful big giant book of unspeakable horrors, indeed! Squee, so-named for the sound he makes when he is frightened (which is a very, very common occurance), is the central character in this much-anticipated 'Johnny the Homicidal Maniac' spin-off. This book has a more subdued tone than its predecessor, but its ending is just as grim, although not nearly as expected as 'JTHM.' Still, do not let that deter you! There are plenty of treats such as Jhonen's commentaries, lots of the previously-uncollected "Meanwhile" vignettes that ran in both 'Squee' and 'JTHM'(such as "Tickle-me Hellmo" and "Crossing Gods"), and, of course, a new illustration on the back cover! Buy 'Squee"...you know you want to *mu-hahahaha!*

Summary: Squee is a humorus way to show the fear in us all.
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't believe that some little cartoon character feels exactly like how I did about dreams, the dark, and scary things. I laughed out loud. Glad to know some else had to sleep "with their back against the wall". PRETTY NEAT- O!!!

Summary: Even more tortured and a product of love
Review: Let's all cheer for Squee! With Meanwhilies! All important! Everything's here from the tortured mind on JV towards Squee, aliens, and the missing bits from the Directors cut! Worth it at twice the price.

Summary: Coo.. very coo
Review: This book is extremely funny. This is coming from a person mainly lifeless and dull who normally doesn't read comic books. It's good. READ IT!

Summary: Awww, look at the cute and tormented little Squee...!
Review: Jhonen Vasquez did not disappoint me when I decided to pick up "Squee's Wonderful Big Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors." Just when I thought he couldn't top "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac," I read this and found myself laughing aloud like crazy. Dark, twisted, disturbing, and overwhelmingly hilarious, this comic collection is unforgettable and highly entertaining--even if you don't want to admit it!!If you've read "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac," then you will be familiar with the cute little boy named, Squee. Squee is a kid who seems to have the worst luck in the world. His parents hate him and wish that he would someday vanish without a trace. All of the school kids hate him and torment him. To make matters worse, he has the most dreadful nightmares about monsters and aliens. He even meets these creatures when he isn't asleep. From running away from his cannibalistic grandpa to persuading the aliens to take his parents away instead of him, from battling the dreaded "Dustmites" to the threat of becoming a mindless zombie school student, Squee is destined to grow up having some serious "issues." The book also includes the comic strips "Wobbly Headed Bob," "Fun with Filler (aww, look at the cuuute little bunny rabbit doing his filler dance!!),"Happy Noodle Boy," and the "Meanwhile" strips that were very much absent from "JTHM: The Director's Cut." While I think "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac" is Jhonen's most creative and disturbing work, I found "Squee's Wonderful Big Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors" to be much more entertaining and hilarious. There were many times where I was laughing very loudly as I was reading this. It's so funny that so many horrible things can happen to such a cute little character. It makes you feel guilty for laughing... but that quickly goes away and then you laugh some more--and in an even more demonic and unrelenting tone! The drawings are great and the characters are extremely humorous. Another cool thing is that Jhonen LOVES to throw in hidden messages and jokes within certain panels, so be on the lookout for them. Another reason to read this more than once. Again, this is not intended for younger readers. While I found this much more easier to take than "JTHM," it's still very twisted, dark, disturbing and graphic. There are some very dark themes and imagery in this collection of comics, so it's not intended for those who easily get offended or disturbed. And, you must keep in mind that this book is here strictly for entertainment purposes only and is not to be taken seriously. Jhonen loves to poke fun at everything wrong in society--and even at his own work! If you want to read something very twisted, deranged, and hilarious, "Squee's Wonderful Big Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors" is just the thing for you. Again, it's nothing for the easily offended. Even though it's a pretty short read, I found this to be one heck of an entertaining read and it's something I'll be sure to read a number of times in the very near future. Another slam-dunk for Vasquez and his sick and warped sense of humor! -Michael Crane
