A phrase now in my head

[womzilla]

"You have failed your saving throw against FAIL."

Mostly brought to mind by Chris Sims's absolutely flabbergasting review of "The Stark, Existential Horror of Tarot #53"

This is a very bad comic book. So bad, in fact, that I’ve actually gotten requests from readers to review it, presumably because they enjoy seeing me suffer. But trust me-–and I know I’ve said this before–-it is the worst issue of Tarot so far. Every time it comes out, I’m convinced that it just can’t get any worse and I’ve always been wrong, but man, there is no way he can top this one.

To start with, Tarot-–whose latest exploits involve being out-dueled by her male counterpart, who is so good that he’s able to cut her clothes off during the swordfight, which of course arouses her to no end-–isn’t even in this issue. Instead, the focus is on third-stringer Crypt Chick, whose major claim to fame is that she’s the only recurring female character in the series–-up to and including Tarot’s mom–-who hasn’t appeared naked.

This is not a work-safe, or good-taste-safe, review.
