Of all the millions of things in the world that Groo cannot understand, perhaps the biggest is why humans treat animals the way they do. In this, the latest installment of his newest miniseries, he wrestles with the problem and-SPOILER ALERT!-doesn't figure out that or practically anything.
In the second issue of the current series, the artist's big, flat tapestries of massive crowds of people serve a story that involves the oppressive mass of the masses in the service of commerce. The big crowd shots serve a deeper meaning in another satisfyingly simple adventure for one of the longer-lived satirical characters on the fringes of pop cultural fame. Sixty years is a long time to be working in ANY industry. Aragons' style is charming enough to maintain for another sixty years or more, though it's undoubtedly the case that this is likely to be the later period beloved artists' impressively long career. The guy IS 85. It's just cool that he continues to produce stuff with such resilient heart. Read Full Review
Groo does as Groo does and that's part of the joy in all of this. The script keeps him moving forward in his own oblivious way – with Rufferto helping out from time to time – but so much of it is just the inertia if Groo looking for food or a fight. The local king has certainly done poorly in some ways with the locals but none of them seem particularly bad off – yet, at least. The changes they've made are going to lead to more problems beyond Groo but I love that Groo is the one that can see it happening and doesn't like it since he's usually just so oblivious to things. It's a good issue that keeps things moving right along as you once again sympathize with the army Groo faces but you also side with Groo more than you usually do. Read Full Review
