Book Reviews of Guys (Cerebus, Book 11)
Book Review: Quiet times in the Cerebus saga
Summary: 4 Stars
This claustrophobic collection takes place almost entirely within a bar. This isn't about action (though theres is some, a little). It's about Cerebus's recovery after some crushing defeats spelled out in earlier stories, and about his boozy climb towards that recovery.
Despite the grim setting, Sim and Gerhard manage to throw in plenty of amusement. Cerebus not only talks to himself, he argues with himself (in an undetermined number of voices), and comes close to losing the argument. A number of characters wander in and out. Some come from earlier episodes, some from popular culture (especially the music industry), and some from other comics that were popular and current in the late 1980s and early `90s.
This collection covers a dismal episode in Sim's personal life, and much of that darkness comes through. Cerebus is a series best read in the order it was written - later issues of the monthly magazine (like the ones collected here) often rely on context created in earlier issues. But, if you're a fan of this offbeat indy, seeing it collected will be a happy experiece.
