John Dies At the End series.
It is hilarious, dark, and gets a little nasty sometimes (not necessarily in a sexual way).
Jason Pargin used to be the cheif editor at Cracked, so that energy does pop in and out. What he is really great at is showing profound empathy despite the choas. He is not just a good writer, you can tell he is also a very good person.
Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits is also awesome.
I love those series too! The sacred tradition of sharp social commentary + butt jokes lives on!
Yes! It is so good. He is like a funnier Chuck Palahniuk without the commitment to making his readers pass out or vomit with every chapter.
It is cosmic horror without the legacy of racism!
