It's not a nice book, but it's a book that stays with you. So maybe I would recommend the book after all, albeit with a warning.

It's beautiful and heartbreaking, a simple moment crystallized in beauty and grief. In one scene, she dances in the living room as the lamp reflects the sequins on her miniskirt. Her depression, depicted in a series of increasingly surreal panels and splash pages, rang surprisingly true.

I think the book really shines in the section where Megg mourns the pending loss of her sick mother (only mentioned, very briefly). It's the same way I feel whenever I binge-watch Always Sunny-after one too many episodes, I just can't handle another 20 minutes of horrible people being horrible to each other. Taken as a whole, it feels a little trying. That's my problem with Megahax: taken in pieces, I absolutely love it. I want to print it out as a poster and hang it above my bed. I want to make it a patch and sew it on my favorite jacket. 'I'm a fucking rich bitch,' she says with a cigarette poised by her mouth. One of my favorites is a panel of Megg at a children's birthday party, black robes drawn up over hair legs as she sits on a pony. But some single panels are so fucking funny. At times I felt like it tried to be edgy just to be edgy, in the vein of Zap! comics. It's definitely supposed to make you squirm. The vulgarity made me uncomfortable-some drawn-out and graphic jokes about sexual assault, or even just images of the trio's filthy apartment. They are all terrible people who terrorize each other endlessly. Megahex is a collection of Simon Hanselman's Life Zone comics, which follow Megg, a witch, Mogg, her cat-lover, and Owl, their deadbeat roommate. This is the first collection of Hanselmann's work, freed from its cumbersome Internet prison, and sure to be one of the most talked about graphic novels of 2014, featuring all of the 'classic' Megg and Mogg episodes from the past five years as well as over 70 pages of all-new material.I'm hesitant about recommending Megahex to people, because it's so weird that people will either really dig it or think I'm insane for suggesting it.

This may sound like a pure stoner comedy, but it transcends the genre: these characters struggle unsuccessfully to come to grips with their depression, drug use, sexuality, poverty, lack of work, lack of ambition, and their complex feelings about each other in ways that have made Megg and Mogg sensations on Hanselmann's Girl Mountain Tumblr. Their friend, Owl, is an anthropomorphized owl. Megg is a depressed, drug-addicted witch. Genres: Anthropomorphic, Comedy, Leading Ladies
