I Had Issues! My Old Review of Evan Dorkin's House of Fun

Wow. When I wrote this I was in "deep" mode, thinking about one of the now insane number of school shootings this decade. Remember when you could keep count of them all? There are more than a few words about that, linking them to Evan Dorkin's little comic. I wish his Eltingville  Club collection came out while I was still working on the site. I feel I could write at least  a thousand words about  how those toxic fanboy characters are both the last word in pre-Marvel Movie fandom and the harbingers of the horrific fan movements of today. Another time, hopefully. Originally published December 27. Edited for clarity, but the heavy-handedness remains.
