I got a copy of this graphic novel through NetGalley(dot)com. I am not sure why I decided to read it, it just looked interesting. I have never watched the Dethklok Adult Swim TV series that this graphic novel is based on, so that may be why I found some parts of the graphic novel confusing. The illustration is decent quality and the stories are pretty funny...if a bit confusing at times.

This graphic novel is a series of stories that follow around the heavy metal band Dethklok as they strive to b...more

Doctor Rockzo. That's why I liked this collection so much. Granted he's not in it as much as some of the other characters, but he's still pretty heavily featured here, to the delight of rock & roll clown fans everywhere. (I still LOL every time I hear him do his "I do cocaine" line.)

I'm going to rate this on story & art separately since well, the art is sort of one of the things I had a bit of an issue with. First off, the story. As Small was involved with the making of this comic, these...more

I have only seen a handful of episodes of this cartoon, but I thought that I would give this collection a chance. I'm glad that I did. While I think that true fans of the show will find it even more humorous, I found myself laughing out loud at several points.

Basically, each story follows the band and their attempts at marketing themselves in more and more ridiculous ways. Of course none of them work, but it's very amusing to see how each plan falls apart. I actually really liked the first stor...more

I must admit to being a fan of the Metalocalypse cartoon, so I know that this graphic novel may not appeal to all, but as a fan i thought it was fantastic!

Firstly, the artwork is spectacular! Dripping in all that is metal-tastic.

Each of the stories are great, I loved the frozen food one especially. It was actually funny seeing the words written down when I'm so used to watching it on the TV, but as I read I could hear the various accents, even the weirdness of Dr Rockzo was not lost (although I...more

The stories suit the show; characterization and dialog are very good. Most of the storylines themselves are silly and slight, but amusing. I love the one with Mashed Potato Johnson. The art is subpar, but I didn't find this distracting. The covers bound in are beautiful.

Contrario al común de los casos, la versión en viñetas de la caricatura "Metalocalypse" mantiene su nivel con historias salpicadas de humor negro y las ya clásicas parodias al rock & roll. Lectura liviana para fans sin prejuicios.

Rude, crude, and extremely bizarre, although I was expecting something of the sort going by the description. Amusing at times, but mostly gross. I didn't realize it was an adult swim show, but I can see how it would fit.
