He was perma cancelled for sexism. Author is an og mgtow anti feminist schizo Muslim/Christian (he thinks Jesus is the messiah and son of god, but also Muhammad and the Quran are true prophets). The comic is all pretty interesting stuff and the much maligned second half is very interesting and only gets more interesting the more you learn about matriarchy and feminism. It is very funny looking at people calling him a schizo hyperbolizer when he was basically calling out all of the mainstream PC stuff now back when it was confined to academic circles and just starting to seep out into pop culture and corporate spaces.
Like when Cerebus has an extended filler arc for 30 issues set in one bar there is no skimping out. The art is just as good and impressive as the other more plot heavy arcs. Just look at how he draws cerebus arguing with himself. Way more impressive then any filler arc in a manga
Or how he uses different writing forms to represent different levels of discussion

interesting art. very manic schizo energy
i only know about Cerberus thru cultural osmosis since it was considered fairly important at one time. i haven’t read any though since i just don’t really care for comics. i know there are some good ones, but i read them too fast to feel like they’re worth purchasing.

I own the whole series and it was about 200-300$ (I don’t remember ) with some of the books being out or print but good for you you can read the whole series for free! Just go here and you can either download all the issues and use your preferred comic e reader or read every issue straight from the web page itself

i just read the first one. i liked the art a lot and the author’s notes at the beginning and end have a fun voice. i hate reading graphic novels on a screen tho, i always have to awkwardly zoom in and scroll around to really appreciate the drawings. this is why i gave up on Berserk too.

I have a huge 17 in laptop i read these on The series will actually go public domain when the author dies so i expect reprints will be a lot more prevalent when that happens
