I do not know what just happened to me but I think I might have liked it...is probably the exact right response to Ludocrats, a new comic that is like the characters it stars a perfectly ludicrous and not boring event. Read Full Review

So what is The Ludocrats? A gratuitously violent, artistically inspired, fourth-wall-obliterating, steampunk/fantasy Saturday-morning-cartoon-meets-Asterix for people who love profanity. Is it ludicrous? Most definitely. Is it funny? Thats subjective. Read Full Review

Jeff Stokely perfectly captures the tone of this story with some beautifully bizarre visuals that catch the eye. I loved looking at each panel and noting the strange and brilliant lunacy captured in them. Read Full Review

But there's even more: the biographies of the creative team are told in Snicket-adjacent verbiage. There's additional text that expands on the spirit of Ludocracy that make it very clear that they know exactly what they did and they just decided not to just turn it up to 11, but break the damn speakers in the process. This comic won't be for everyone, but for the people who love absurdist humor with a fantastical flair, this comic is so far into your niche that you kind of owe it to yourself to read this tale of matrimony and murder.

Ludocrats #1 is a chaotic introduction to a series that will be iconic and memorable, with characters full of massive personality and vibrant artwork to support their tale. Read Full Review

In concept and execution this book is a rousing beginning. The real challenge will be to see how well Gillen and Rossignol can keep us engaged over many issues. The hope is that they continue to find new social constructs to pull apart as the story progresses. This issues deals with marriage, property ownership, party etiquette and the greatest sin of being boring. Hopefully the creators continue the pace of pulling at aspects of society and our social media age that too many take a normative. Read Full Review

Although its characters behave in unrestrained manners and constantly try to outdo each other in the matters of eccentricity, Ludocrats #1 is a comic that's fairly easy to follow. Its focus is two main characters and a variety of visual and verbal jokes. Instead of relying on boring exposition (This is actually a plot point), Gillen, Rossignol, Stokely, and Bonvillain throw you straight in the middle of the world without a life vest. This is an admirable storytelling point, and Ludocrats #1 is a true party of a comic that you should safely try to acquire when it's released. Read Full Review

So if you like stories that feel like a 1990s Jim Carrey acting out Hieronymus Bosch's fever dream, you will enjoy The Ludocrats. It has violence, fourth wall breaks, and a character named Voldigan the Perfidious. If nothing else, comics like these help us appreciate the silliness of life and the value of spontaneity. For those reasons, I recommend it. Read Full Review

If you want a book thatll lift the spirits and you dont mind a bit of weird, then this could be for you. On the other hand, it might not. Im still a little confused. Maybe I should go back and read it again just to be sure Read Full Review

This comic is its own id. It exists because of and for its basic urges. Otto embodies these desires and provides the propulsive momentum in this funny comic. Gillen, Rossignol, Stokely, Bonvillain, and Cowles give us this first look into this world of action and unbridled urges that promises to be anything but stale! If boring comics are a crime, then The Ludocrats looks like the perfect get-out-of-jail-free card. Read Full Review
