Peter Bagge: Apocalypse Nerd

[Peter Becher Damkjær]

Nu har jeg godt nok ikke fulgt religiøst med i, hvad sættes til salg i Previews de sidste snart tre år, men kunne nogen (evt. The Googaman himself), måske fortælle, om man indnefor de sidste måneder har hørt nyt om Peter Bagges "Apocalypse Nerd" nr. 5 samt den ellers tidligere annoncerede "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" -Super One-Shot i hardcover og med 3D-briller og hele moletjavsen?

The thrilling conclusion to Peter Bagge's Apocalypse Nerd!
Perry and his new mate Midge wind up settling deep in the woods, intent to live out their days as "survivalists" -- only their means of survival is hardly anything to brag about! The story also concludes with a climactic reunion with a certain old friend.
Also, this issue's Founding Father's Funnies installment features a "My Dinner With Andre" type conversation between two pre-revolutionary-era artists, Paul Revere and the painter John Singleton Copley!

Jeg vil se både 5 og 6 på hylderne, før jeg tror på, de udkommer. Det er vist ved at være 9-10 mdr. siden nr. 4 udkom, så Posemandens track-record indbyder sgutte til de største forveninger.

Kan serien varmt anbefales?

Så absolut. Efter Bagges lamme forsøg på DC med "Yeah!" (eller hvad helvede det nu var, den med pigebandet hed) og "Sweat Shop" er han med "Apocalypse Nerd" tilbage på sporet.
Ikke helt på Hate-niveau, men derhenad.

Ser meget fedt ud:


Imagine yourself in a post-apocalyptic world, where all the creature comforts that you've spent an entire lifetime taking for granted were suddenly gone for good. How do you see yourself reacting to such a situation? Would you "suck it up" and be stoically content? Or would you spend most of the time cursing your fate? We all like to picture ourselves as the former, though the latter is probably a more accurate portrayal - and that's exactly what our "hero" is like in Peter Bagge's new miniseries.
MARVEL as our protagonist, an asthma ridden, myopic former middle manager for a software company, has his limited survival skills continually put to the test, only to continually come up short! THRILL as his dumb childhood friend Jeff Beasley bullies him around, as he abuses his new found status as the undisputed alpha-male of the two! CRINGE as what's left of human civilization continually deteriorates around them, and they along with it!


Side 4 fra 1. bind


In this issue, our two hapless heroes, the high strung Perry and the gruff Gordo, are still stuck way out in the woods trying to fend for themselves. Eventually, Perry decides he can't take it anymore and heads back towards civilization (or what's left of it) and takes his chances there instead. Will he go? Should he go? Is he doomed either way?


As our heroes Perry and Gordo slowly work their way back towards "civilization," they quickly realize that in the wake of the nuclear attack civilized society no longer exists. Entire communities abandoned! Rednecks killing each other over the last bottle of soda! Communes of nerds living behind barbed-wire encampments-and worst of all, no internet! Can our heroes adapt, or will they head back to the hills?!


Our "heroes" have stumbled across a self-sustaining community of seemingly well-organized scientists and engineers. What luck! The encampment also has food and computers, and the only news that the pair have heard since Seattle went up in a cloud of nuclear smoke. But just when our neurotic, geeky protagonist Perry starts to feel he's sittin' pretty, all hell breaks loose! This could be a permanent rift between him and his best friend, Gordo . . . what's happened now?!
Also, in "Founding Fathers Funnies," those wacky Bean Towners John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Sam and John Adams raise a little terrorist-style hell of their own.


Things continue to spiral downhill for our "hero" Perry, as circumstances out of his control force him to move from one bad situation to another-and results in his committing certain deeds that he never in a million years imagined himself doing!
Also in this issue: Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe lay the somewhat seedy groundwork for their twenty-four year Presidential dynasty in "The Virginia Mafia."

Jeg synes også den er morsom - men hvis man er ny-Baggeist og skal ud og købe sit første fix, så får man meget mere valuta for pengene og ganske bedre historier med de to Buddy-opsamlinger.

[Thopman]

Den ser ellers grineren ud!... Og så har hovedpersonen en slående lighed med (en ung) A. Fogh!

Hvor længe går der fra noget er i Previews til det er på hylderne? Er det ikke en 3 måneders tid? Så skulle 6 udkomme samme måned som 5. I doubt it.

Forlaget kan selvfølgelig have skrevet forkert på sin hjemmeside.

I øvrigt ligner hovedpersonen i "Apocalypse Nerd" da Peter! Beskrivelsen passer også på en prik:

In this issue, our hapless hero, the high strung Peter Becher, is still stuck way out in the woods (Aeroe) trying to fend for himself. Eventually, Peter decides he can't take it anymore and heads back towards civilization (or Aarhus, that is) and take his chances there instead. Will he go? Should he go? Is he doomed either way?

Je kan ikke huske det præcist, men det er enten to eller tre måneder, minus selvfølgelig forsinkede titler og titler, der aldrig udkommer.

Jeg kan også kun anbefale serien, i sædvanlig HATE-stil er den let-læst, simpel og meget underholdende. Og så hjælper det jo også lidt hvis man er glad for post-apokalyptiske temaer...

Jeg kender dog slet ikke nok til US politisk historie til at fange alle hans jokes om 'The Founding Fathers' osv. i seriens back-up historier.
