Disappointment
8. Februar 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Much hype has excited readers for the newest installment in the Kramers Ergot underground comics anthology. A swift correction from the oversized and overpriced Kramers Ergot 7, which suffered from a limited print run, the 8th anthology flaunts its nice compact size and beautiful production values. What about the content? Most comics anthologies are a mixed bag and Kramers Ergot 8 is no exception.
I like to think of myself as a fan of indie comics. However, this anthology is painful to read. Nonsensical stories, scraggly art and horrid designs are rampant throughout this. Many people will argue that these comics are a rebellion of the comics form, a sort of "anti-comic" that are great because they don't follow the norm. Lots of artists try too hard to be abstract and "alternative" and ultimately fail. This can be done well but can be the downfall of many comics.
One or two stories in this collection stand out from the rest. The Half Men is a straight forward sci-fi story. It's nothing spectacular but compared to the rest, it is astounding. However, three quality comics don't make up for the failure that is the whole.
EDIT: Apparently, "The Half Men" is a story from 1956 redrawn by a new artist. [....]
The majority of the stories are not fulfilling and seem to have no point other than to show off how "alternative" the artists' styles are. And by "alternative" I mean they are crude and adhere to no artistic formula. The stories themselves feel pointless.
Kramers Ergot 8 has been highly lauded by Picturebox and praised as a return to what KE is all about. However, this collection is embarrassing.
Also, it may be an attempt to retain the individual comics' "integrity" but it seems as though no editing process took place at all. Grammar errors abound throughout this collection and inhibit the reading process. Many lines of dialogue I had to read over to understand because of the lack of a necessary comma or proper punctuation.
The best thing about Kramers Ergot 8 is the production value. The cloth hardcover is lavish and feels amazing. The cover/back/spine design are beautiful.
It's truly an amazing book to look at.
If you don't open it up, that is.
I blazed through this immediately; I was so excited to read it. However, I wouldn't see myself ever picking it up again. I severely regret paying for it.
I love comics. I love what they can do. This collection, however, left me feeling extremely disheartened.
I recommend other comic anthologies such as The Best American Comics, AX, Yale comics anthology or McSweeney's.

Big disappointment
25. März 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
There's only one thing worth reading in here and it's by Kevin Huizenga. The rest is so much garbage. I was forcing myself through it by the end. So many comics anthologies are uneven at best, and often terrible. Kramers Ergot does not justify its price at all.
I know it's unfair to write this whole series off based on the third and eighth installments, but that's exactly what I'm doing. I cannot understand what people enjoy about these weak stories or their awful art. Life's too short to keep wasting it on crappy comics anthologies.

Strange beautiful book
4. Mai 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Expectations can be weird. But KE8 is a finely crafted volume of (more often than not) scifi-themed, surreal & excellent comics. I dunno if its a "brutally effective anthology as an argument about the medium" but it's a book full of incredible graphic images. Obviously more of a fancy art zine vibe than other comics anthologies. Well executed with a handsome old school linen and foil embossed cover. Four Amazon stars.
