Stiff competition?

No, not really but I did almost jump out of my skin when I picked this up at a comic store the other day:


"Borement" is a great word, I will use it, Wise Lee!

That feeling of "You bastard!" at the same time as that feeling of "You marvelous bastard!" had me cursing and clutching this baby like you wouldn't believe.
Okay. so what is it?
It's a mainstream comic, it's called PUNKS, it's made of collages (very likely on a computer), which means they sorta beat me to superfame for collage-comic production. Yes the Angel is older, and truth be told, it's better too.
Here's some more images:
actually fuck it, no, you can google them yourself.

I'm shittyhellyeah balls out excited by the fact that a big publisher-backed mainstream collage comic is out there hopefully attracting a new audience to collage and détournement (as much as you could call this comic or mine détournement [huh? what? Know your destruction, click HERE.]).
Sadly(?) for us The Angel is waaaay weirder, so only the brave will find their way to it. But if this be the gateway drug that brings them here, then hooray for this, and I will be waiting with my seductive treasures my pretties...
Now all y'all go forth and tell everyone this is the year of the collage comic! That this is the Year of the Micturating Angel!

ps: some notes on future editions. Issue 4 will be out in about a week or so, issue 5 will be delayed by a month because I will be overseas.

Reviews, kind words, etc - people who like "The Micturating Angel"

Dear Xtian:Just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed very much your delightfully scabrous micturating angels in Hydrolith 2!All best,

Sasha Vlad


The above was an email sent to yours truly by a fine Surrealist and it warmed the cockles of my heart. Please, everyone start referring to the Angel as a "delightfully scabrous" comic! 


I've also come across some other reviews/ recommendations on this here Interwebs, so here we go:


from Surrealismo Internacional [surrint.blogspot.com.au], a Spanish blog dedicated to all things Surrealism, we find a review of Hydrolith #2, the anthology wherein the first issue of this comic was published last year (see earlier entry HERE).


Quote:


"Among the many illustrations, with a predominance of collages and drawings, but also paintings and digital works, I can only highlight some preferences:  ...[a] very original comic [by] Xtian, Melbourne, entitled The micturating [sic] Angel , "fairy science and erotic" in which he systematically involved with a fun result, on some figures to George Levis, narrating the stories of girls Bella Hayley, Molly, Gaby and Lucinda-all a discovery that makes us want to do the same with many bookmarks, or even indifferent comics (in these, the improvement would be obvious)."
(I translated this with Google...)
See original article HERE. 

The reviewer also posts a page from the comic, which I'm very happy about.





I had to google who Georges Levis was - a flattering comparison I have to say (THIS should give you some idea - oh and the link is NSFW, ooo-err).


Our third and last (for now) kind champion (David Nadeau) is from Canada. His  blog is also devoted to Surrealism, is called présence du surréalisme [surrealismeactuel.blogspot.com.au] and we find a simple recommendation of a T-shirt related to the Angel (one of the Secret Chiefs designs - huh? what? click HERE ).



To these people I say 
THANK YOU.
Feedback, reviews and recommendations are most welcome. Whilst I don't expect anyone "to get" what I'm doing with this comic (9 times outta 10 I donno either), it's great to see people connecting (positively) with it.

EXCELSIOR!
