Henry & Glenn Forever is a great conversation piece if you've got friends who know who Henry & Glenn are. Otherwise, it's not going to go over as well. Henry Rollins is coming to my area soon on his Capitalism speaking tour and I was planning on taking the book and trying to get him to sign it, but then I realized that meant I'd have to go see Henry Rollins speak so I just had some bum sign it. Come to think of it, that bum looked a lot like John Oates.
A friend sent me a link to Henry & Glenn Forever on Microcasm Publishing. It was just coming out, and there weren't really any reviews. The only description available was something like "Henry and Glenn are very good 'friends.' They are also 'roommates.' Daryl and John live next door. They are satanists."I think I was expecting a book with a storyline, so I was little surprised when this arrived to find that it's more a cd liner sized book of single frame comics done by a few different artists. Regardless, it's funny and quirky. There's a couple unicorn related jokes that make me laugh everytime.
The sheer absurdity of Henry & Glenn Forever makes this worth picking up along. Starring classic musclebound punk rockers Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig, Henry & Glenn Forever finds them in a unique domestic partnership. Soft rockers Hall & Oates live next door, and are fully practicing Satanists as well. Also, Henry talks about himself in the third person to his diary, and Glenn is massively insecure but loves werewolves. It's ridiculous, so ridiculous that I can't even put it into words. However, as someone that grew up influenced by the music of Black Flag, Rollins Band, The Misfits, Samhain, Danzig, and everything else these two were ever involved in, this comic is an absolute must own just for the novelty value. Comic reader or not, if you love Henry Rollins and Danzig, you'll dig Henry & Glenn Forever.
The collection of Igloo Tornado's Henry and Glenn are a literary master piece !!!!!!! These pages should be placed into a time capsule for all mankind to see how the future could be saved from evil and destruction. Plus future aliens would get a good laugh while eating human brains and drinking our spinal fluids !!!!!!! Buy these now you Cheeto eating, death metal listening, Cheap beer drinking fat bastards !!!!! I am a private citizen of this great USA and do not work for Igloo Tornado in any shape or form. Suck It
I read this in about 5 or 6 minutes. I didn't like how it was just all over the place without an actual story line and the illustrations were so different from one page to the next. It's like a bunch of elementary school kids drew these pictures and threw this together in an art class. Also, I don't know if it was intentional or not (it didn't seem like it) but parts of the dialogue were missing. Words were just cut off the page. I had all the other Henry & Glenn stuff in my cart but deleted it based on this one. Too bad, because I thought this was going to be so funny but It really isn't. At all.
Its a must have if you like Danzig/Blackflag and specially if you have hxc and metal friends to show this to, they will be amused. And the illustrations and jokes are also cute :) However I highly recommend getting the following 2 issues, because they have continuity (like a comic book) unlike this one that features random single situation/jokes :)
This is a hilarious, cute little graphic novel. The author(s) are very creative and talented. It's so funny seeing Glenn Danzig portrayed as a snivelling, sensitive, forlorn type. LOL.I reccomend this wholeheartedly for a nice laugh.
The idea is actually a lot funnier than the content of the book itself. However, if you're a major Rollins/Danzig fan it's worth it just for the absurd novelty of it all.
