Summary: This ROX!!!!
Review: I love Dark humour a ton, and I thought that Lenore: Noogies, was a fantastic blend of humour and gore. I thought that it would be gross and stupid, but it really was so cute, the gore just was...funny.
I found it stupendously inventive and origional, a comic from a category not tried much until recently. Take that, marvel!
Honestly, this was absolutely hillarious, and anyone with a strange knack for wacky dark humour, or anyone who finds vampirie dolls and obsessive lovers being killed over and over again funny, would absolutely adore this book.
I strongly recommend this to anyone 13 or over- Maybe younger kids would find it gross and scary. But I loved it! And now there's animated versions on the internet, which is just another way to watch Lenore's funny misadventures, that almost always result in something being killed.
Read this , I tell you, read this, and you will laugh like a happy cow.
I loved this!

Summary: it's cute...get over it....
Review: i loved this book so very much...it's creepy, weird, and...cute! if you don't like cute things...don't bother. it's not supposed to be beautiful art work..and it's not a deep, dark, thought provoking story line. it's just overwhelmingly adorable.
i read JTHM a few years ago..and after my first shock (it was a bit like being dunked in a tub of cold water and held down while somebody stabs you repeatedly with a spork) i loved it...but if you loved it to the point where you agree with everything he says....i mean really agree not just fully understand and commiserate with his point of view...or if you take your self and your oh so dark and gruesome culture too seriously, then just don't bother with Lenore...don't buy it, don't read it, just pretend it's not there. and as for people's shocked surprise that it's not like Johnny....that's because it's from a different writer...and it's not a rip off..it's just from the same genre. saying it's a Jhonen rip off is like saying that every sci-fi writer is a Ray Bradbury rip off.
so if you like the addams family and are amused by fuzzy bunnies as well as death and destruction in equal doses then Lenore may very well be the dark yet fuzzy comic for you...and i would definitely recommend JTHM to all Lenore fans but not Lenore to all Johnny fans.....oh...and don't blow on your kitty's tummy.....

Summary: Dark humor, nice art!
Review: I must admit that I am not usually one to enjoy many comic books. But who can resist such an adorable little dead girl? I flipped through my first Lenore comic in a local store, and was instantly amused. When I found this little gem on-line (the first four issues compiled into one nice, neat book) I decided that I just had to purchase it. Lenore is a dead little girl who doesn't quite understand the living around her. She doesn't mean to do some of the things she does, she's just trying to find her niche. The humor in this book is dark, yet definitely not for the serious personality. But for those of you who can enjoy the lighter side of the dark, gothic subculture, this book will have you rolling on the floor laughing. Some highlights include: "Babysitting," "It's magic," "Lenore's Scientific, don't even question it facts," "A walk in the city," "Little Miss Muffet," "Mr. Puffy," and "A New Toy." So why did I give it only four stars? Because I found a couple of the strips to be a bit cheesy. The second installment, "Wedgies," is better in my opinion. However, you shouldn't read issues 5-8 without first picking up this book and reading 1-4. If you can enjoy vampires-turned dolls, things returning from the dead (Mr. Gosh is hilarious!), and a little girl's penchant for accidentally harming cute, small, fuzzy things (watch out for those hamsters!), then this comic is a must-have, as is "Wedgies!" I can't wait for the next four-issue book (9-12) to come out!

Summary: Disturbingly Entertaining
Review: I ordered this book on a whim after I saw the link to it on Amazon on the page for Angus Oblong's Creepy Suzie. I loved that book so I thought I'd give this a try and was pleasantly surprized. I was worried a bit since alot of these "dark" comics take themselves waaay too seriously but this one has a nice humorous edge to it. The stories are simple and not that original but something about his dilivery and cute little Lenore with her big round eyes gives it a whole new spin and, even though you may say "ew" out loud, you know that in the deep dark corner in the back of your mind, you're finding this hillarious. If you want something a bit dark and weird but still want to be entertained, give this one a try. You just might like it.

Summary: spooky fun
Review: I really loved this comic collection. I'll be sure to buy the second one Wedgies. I wish it were a least partly in color though. It should suit every mature person's morbid sense of humor. Plus Lenore herself is dead cute!

Summary: Sadly - Lenore is all hype and utter tripe.
Review: I think the first thing I found annoying about Lenore was the fact that I was lured in by the word "dead". I like dead things, I like squishy things, I like bloody, bony, and crusty things. But I don't like Lenore. Lenore is booked as being a cute little dead girl, but she does nothing to act dead. She is more like a cute, wide-eyed Dennis The Menace, doing mean spirited things to small animals and her friends, while playing leap frog and having parties and taking bubble baths. It only took maybe fifteen minutes to read the entire book, most of the comic cells being sparse of images and words, and to make matters worse, the images are below the standards I have become used. Consider other graphic novels like Slave Labor Graphic's masterpiece, JTHM, the many graphic works of Neil Gaimen, and even Junji Ito's Uzumaki series. I did not laugh once, and give Lenore two stars only for the two short skits that made me smile a bit, "The Boy With His Heart In A Box" and "Things Involving Me", neither of which featured Lenore at all. There is nothing gothic, spooky or even very dark here, kind of like twilight settling over a pig farm. A few poorly remade nursery rhymes, a lot of blank or minimally drawn cells, and no plot to be found at all. With "Lenore: Noogies" being too adult for children, and too childish for adults, my recommendation is to leave it on the shelf and go grab Uzumaki or JTHM.

Summary: Dark humor, nice art!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed Roman Dirge's "Lenore : Noogies", a nicely imagined and well drawn journey into the world of a cute little dead girl. Although this is humor, it certainly isn't what I would call hilarious...more "interesting" funny than "laugh-out-loud" funny. Dirge does a great job of keeping my interest; lots of nice one-page gags; good use of sarcasm, macabre humor, etc. I would recommend this book to anyone with any edgier sense of humor. My final thought: If only Lenore would be rendered in a PLUSH form one day!

Summary: Viva la Roman Dirge!
Review: It is not just the cutely crude art, the dark humour, or the classic character of Lenore that makes me love this series, but the whole sensibility of the comic. Dirge projects that inimitable mood of ghastly cuteness, macabre innocense. Fascinating, not to mention side-splitting.
