SEX! DEATH! LIVE TV!
As the show's writer finds himself ensnared in a blackmail scheme, the girl behind the scenes stumbles onto the late Carlyle White's biggest secret of all-which can't help his son Michael from descending even further into a world of cheap sex and celebrity. By MATT FRACTION (SEX CRIMINALS, Hawkeye) and HOWARD CHAYKIN (BLACK KISS, CENTURY WEST).
All of the best film noir protagonists have some deeply inherent flaw in their character that almost pushes them into anti-hero territory. The cast of Satellite Sam is no different. Its these character traits coupled with the compelling setting and storyline that make Satellite Same such a rewarding read month after month. In just the course of seven issues Matt Fraction and Howard Chaykin have given us a full cast of characters that are already different people than they were when we first saw them slaving over a new medium delivering subpar children's programming. This book is most certainly not for everyone, but for the degenerates that make up its audience, Satellite Same will plunge to the lowest depths and highest highs to bring you a well told and compelling story.

I can't recommend this book in good faith to anyone, aside from Chaykin and Fraction complete-ists. I myself swore that I was done after the first volume, and yet here I am, buying issue seven. I have the same issue with Bendis and his Uncanny X-Men series, but that's a review for another day. If you've liked Satellite Sam, there's more of the same here, and you won't miss the $3.50. If you don't like Satellite Sam, you're not the target audience anymore. Sorry, folks. Show business. Read Full Review
