"COMMUNISTS IN THE FUNHOUSE": Maude suspects that an Estro-Corp spy has infiltrated her group of friends. Which-not gonna lie-kinda sucks, tbh.
There are only two issues left to go in the series, but with the final chapter being another non-comic-centric Handbook-style issue, the central part of the story really ends with issue #11. The rhythm of the series has been great fun. The big climax is just one month away. Hopefully, theres satisfaction in things becoming more surreal at the end of the series. Its been a hell of a ride thus far. With any luck, Cain and company can hold out for at least one more issue to deliver a satisfying conclusion to the series. Read Full Review
What I hope to see in future installations of Man-Eaters is the incorporation of political values outside of the general realm. Even though the talks about violence against women's bodies is important, it is equally important to talk about bodies outside of feminine whiteness. I enjoyed the inclusion of people outside of those who identify with she/her pronouns in the talks about menstruation and violence. I believe that the violence against People of Color and their experiences with these bodily functions will heighten the realism of this comic. It will add another layer of understanding if went about carefully and not stereotypically. Read Full Review
It is quite possible Cain did add a trans-masc character because of the internet drama that happened a couple of weeks ago -- while it usually takes time to substantial changes to a comic, the fact that the scene feels tacked on and the art is rushed, well...
There's still a lot of wasted pages on stupid ads and, if the trend continues, issue 12 is just gonna be a graphic design thesis disguised as pointless worldbuilding, as issue 4 and 8 were -- so a 12-issue maxi-series that really only had 7-8 issues to tell a story with lots of pacing issues because the rest of the pages were wasted on stupid fake ads.
Ironically, the best review I've seen on Man-Eaters 10 will never be aggregated here as it doesn't use a score more
