I've only read the 1st series so appologies if something in the 2nd makes my thoughts look ridiculous)<br /><br />My opinion (significantly influenced by an essay on the comic I've read online somewhere I cant remember, cbr maybe?) is that Seaguy's meant to be some sort of commentary on writing superheroes, we get the intriguing setting, the emotional middle piece followed by the disappointing end where nothing has changed(apart from a few minor details) and the villains have ultimately got away with it.<br /><br />The really SPOILERY bit<br /><br />Ever since the tragic end of issue two I was waiting for Seaguy to avenge Chubby or do something great in his memory or whatever, instead we get more weirdness and Seaguy forgetting the whole thing. I assume this is Morrison making a point about how the constant resetting of things to the status-quo at the end of a writers run on a corporate owned superhero comic de-values the work and the pointlessness of death in mainstream comics.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11050011862931456741noreply@blogger.com
