Yeah, I forgot about the Retrospective on this one. To be fair, I was in the middle of a massive posting arc and contemplating the end of the blog at the same time. So missing the end of It Hurts! isn't that big of a surprise.
Not that I really have much to say on it really. I mean, I did like it enough. My original review had the same issues, I don't know HOW to talk about it besides "it's okay."
It's vulgar, it's stupid, it does odd things, goes odd places. It tells jokes that you need to read a second time to catch, while others are so obvious you don't eve need to read them.
The story was a weird thing. It flowed pretty logically, which is weird since it went from middle school, to the apocalypse, to space, to hell, to heaven, to space and then back to the beginning. Yeah, it did ALL that while making the main characters a cyborg, a zombie, a part of some supreme spirit and a demon. Weird things, and the ending was, well, trying to say something.
The comic loved to drum up hope for the future, then squash it like a bug on a windshield. The ending looks to do the same thing, except that DOES give that hope. After pointing out how shit of a thing it really was that the only way to do it was to UNDO everything (um, kind of, more like remake).
I liked the comic, but I can see where someone else might not put up with it. It's TOO vulgar sometimes, and TOO stupid other times. There's an unevenness there that carries all the way to the end. I guess if you can stand it through the beginning of the apocalypse arc, you'll probably enjoy it, but if you can't, don't bother, it doesn't change much.
Next time, my great round up. Long enough I had to put it off a week. Until then kiddies.
