Adventures of Barry Ween Boy Genius 2.0

Barry Ween is one of the funniest books I've read in the last few years. There were several points where I nearly stopped breathing from laughter. Barry Ween is a Boy Genius. His friend, Jeremy, has a knack for getting into trouble. Mostly Barry gets Jeremy out of trouble. This series has brilliantly funny humor. Barry's vocabulary is very R-rated though. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This is perhaps the funniest comic book I've read in a long time. Not since Bisley's Lobo have I laughed so hard and loud at comic characters. Barry Ween has a dry wit, and he lives in such an absurd world with oblivious adults and ignorant children. Barry possesses an unparalleled genius mind, and he gets wrapped up in bizarre adventures to the merriment of his friend Jeremy. Judd Winick has just the right off kilter sense of humor to make me laugh for hours. There were a number of times I had to put the book down to laugh. Recommended.

Judd Winick is a rising star in the comic book/graphic novel arena. His book, The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius is one of the funniest graphic novels that I have read in years. Biting sarcasm, dead-on movie spoofs, great writing & nice (but rather primitive) artwork combine to make this a five-star collection. As the cover blurb from Garth Ennis says, think Calvin & Hobbes on drugs. My only caution is that there is some rather vulgar language in the book, so it is not appropriate for young children.

Finally reprinting the hard-to-find mini-series, Judd proves once again he's one of the most hilarious writers out there. While the art cannot compare to many other books for detail, it is the perfect style for this. All three stories are rude, crude, and downright gut-bustingly funny. This is definately a must have for anyone who has even mildly enjoyed the more-obtainable "Barry Ween 2.0", any Kevin Smith books or movies, "Milk and Cheese", or MTV's "The Real World", as Judd was a cast member for one season.

this book is hilarious. although many would shun it as a mindless comic book, i defy anyone to read it and not laugh out loud. its like dexter's laboratory meets kevin smith. judd winnick (the man who brought you frumpy the clown) spins hilarious tales of this an adolescent genius and his misadventures with his slightly less intelligent pal jerry. pick it up and give it a read even if you wouldn't normally read a comic book.
