Meatmen Volume 18

Rating:
Summary: Let Loose!
Review: "What makes Meatmen so popular with gay readers, myself included? For starters, the men of Meatmen "live" in a homoerotic paradise where there is no disease or bigotry, and where every man is hot, hung and willing. Furthermore, comic characters "can" do things that real people cannot or dare not do, not even in adult videos. Everything goes in the world of Meatmen, just so long as the characters "are" over 18 (not even Meatmen can defy that taboo!) In other words, Meatmen act out most cherished, deepest fantasies." - text from Badpuppy's Gay Today

Summary: Vol.18: S&M Special
Review: Highlights this time out: "Interrogation" and "Pledge" by "The Hun"-- as usual, his anatomy is seriously exaggerated, but his rendering this time seems more refined than usual, and he threw in a lot of details to "read" as well. "Hawk: Service Station" by Greg Garcia, in which his biker hero pushes himself on a smaller guy, only to have it done in turn to him by a BIGGER guy. "Coley And the Polynesian Dragon" by John Blackburn takes the blonde voodoo boy to exotic climes again; ironically, this episode isn't quite a violent as the one in Vol.17! As usual, the Coley installment is probably the BEST part of the entire book, in both writing AND artwork. 3 short episodes of "Johnny Leatherhead" by Stephen Clarke show a lot of potential in the art & visual storytelling. "The Buddies And The Bastards" by Sean is a fun romp in which a couple of guys stumble into the WRONG club initiation-- but the guys who take advantage of them get paid in kind by the end. Gerald Donelan contributes another 12 cartoons, including the back cover.
