Clowes was funny for a couple years in the 90s. By contrast, Burns has several decades of really unique, quality work behind him.

"clowes was funny for a couple years in the 90s" was the name of a subforum on the old comics journal message board, i think.

just read X'ed Out and The Hive from the library, they don't have Sugar Skull in yet
i highly recommend getting all three and reading it start-to-finish in one sitting.

Just finished doing the above and, not to get too much into spoilers, I'm not sure how to feel about the conclusion. It seems to wrap things up neatly in a way I really didn't expect based on Black Hole and that doesn't ring entirely true with the setup of the first two volumes. I can appreciate it as a commentary on immature, self-obsessed indie comic heroes, but I don't know if that's enough of a payoff. Maybe there's more ambiguity intended but it def doesn't seem that way from the last few pages.
