I'm a witch.

I do witchy things.

I cast megahexes.

I cut bitches.

This week’s pick from the public library: Megahex by Simon Hanselmann

Hilarious and hideous with a twist of abuse, add bong water, shake violently and slurp!

NEW BOOK, NEXT WEEK

My EIGHTH book from Fantagraphics comes out next week. a goofy as fuck and also incredibly hardcore Werewolf Jones book made with Josh Pettinger and HTMLflowers with additional coloring by Nate Garcia. Pick it up at bookstores, e-stores or order direct from the publisher at https://www.fantagraphics.com/collections/simon-hanselmann/products/werewolf-jones-and-sons-deluxe-summer-fun-annual

I hope everyone has a great summer!

I'm working on the second issue (+ reprint of the first) of my new quarterly zine series YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY and going through all my notes for MEGG'S COVEN (the official follow up to BAD GATEWAY, which will be serialized in chapters).

Always on the clock!

Following the latest Megahex story on Instagram and feeling so perplexed by people in the comments talking about how cute the characters look and how sweet they are to each other, as if it's not a series that is explicitly about the worst people alive, whose intense toxicity is mitigated by Simon Hanselmann's vivid psychological understanding of these types. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to genuinely like these guys or think that their relationships are anything but pathologically destructive. You're invited to relate to them insofar as what's wrong with them is a cartoon magnification of what's wrong with a lot of people; I'm certain that Megahex is not supposed to be comforting or validating in any way shape or form. This is totally a manifestation of this kind of fandom-poisoning where you automatically interpret everything as an adorable romance tinged with infantile eroticism, and you're either blind to or not at all interested in what the author is actually trying very hard to say. I had the same feeling the other day when Tumblr radar was showing this piece of fan art from The Bear where everybody was smiling and being lovey dovey and looking extremely kawaii; I thought, yeah that show does suggest that the characters still have some decency and love inside of them, but every single episode is about how the only way they're able to interact with the world is through emotional violence and substance abuse. Like if you want to watch a really snuggly show about cuddly friends, I would probably recommend almost anything but The Bear. I get all reactive about the fandom pathology because I think it keeps people from really enjoying and appreciating storytelling or practically any kind of thoughtful art, if the only reason you read or watch anything is to say "Well the characters can be cute if I remove them from the narrative and transplant them into a world where all they do is hug and smooch in a way that I can jack off to without feeling too unwholesome." I mean I guess it's none of my business if people hate fiction and filmmaking and they're just foraging for source material for their weirdly babyfied porn. And it's probably my own fault for continuously returning to a place where I'm extremely likely to see that material without even trying, even if I'm trying NOT to. I suppose the bottom line is that people have every bit as much right to make and enjoy that stuff as I have to complain about it. Re: "Let people enjoy things," if I actually had the ability to stop people from enjoying things, the world might look very different, but fortunately for everyone else, I do not hold that power.

movie war full throttle!!!

Part Gaim

DAMN that's a weird looking planet

some kind of giant metal flower filled with robot bees is attacking god

oh rip mai

love it when robots make burbling sounds

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE MENTION

DAMN we've got some crazy god battles already

these guys are like if the borg was the bug

megahex then proceeds to watch all of kamen rider gaim

damn you,,,, you took Unnamed Planet,,,, and now you're coming for Earth!!!

wow zawame city is looking good after they had to rebuild half of it

mitchy is helpinggg

unfortunately, the awful blue cloud

oop, there goes that half of zawame city again

you did it!!! you killed megahex!!! there's definitely only one of this hive mind entity- FUCK

this part of the movie has been on some dragon ball z bullshit and im honestly here for it

welp, rip kouta

again

this might honestly be one of the better movie war villains to me

KUROKAGE GENERATOR????

MECHA-RYOMA??????????????????????

oh my god not the fucking dragonfruit arms again-

not even the only time ryoma's been a robot, lest we forget the time he performed brain surgery on himself, twice

mai has become a horrible warning,,,, again

it's zangetsu time,,, again

tha bros

and ayyyy we get to see them take on ryoma!!!

hang on,,, roidmude generator???????

mitchy must deal with the awful wiggling wogglers

he seems fine

lmao i love it when they impale someone in these and it's CLEARLY that the sword's gone under their arm and they're hiding it with camera angles

rip mecha-ryoma

hmmmmm, this thing eating the golden fruit seems problematic

damn that was a good throw lmao

i love the repeated exact same metal sound effect every time the megahex guy lands a hit, real video game shovel weapon vibes

now that's what i call a bros attack

damn, he pissed

and lo, for the power of fruit resurrected god!!!

i don't think they've quite grasped the concept that the megahex can just make more drones

welp, time to see what considerably lower stakes adventure drive's been dealing with!!!

Part Drive

ultimate lupin is BACK BAY-BEE

*waves at a car and it explodes*

this guy looks a little like robot skeletor im gonna be honest

"oh no, if they fire us, they're gonna take us into a field and blow us up!!!"

the density shift neutraliser does seem a little,,, dense

high-speed car chase!!! ,,,or i guess normal speed, everything's just slow

car sideflip

gen is blowing like a leaf in the wind

CASTLE???

this is a robot vampire story now!!!

plot twist, there were actually 109 roidmudes!!!

MR BELT LORE???

"a feeble-minded fool who reduced himself to menswear"

oh hi chase

MOVIE RIDER TIME

"gun!"

trapped him on fucking celluloid

mr belt takes a fucking bullet???

toy car-based motivational speech

oooooh the ichigo-based sound effect on mach's early bird appearance

oh my god we're doing some agatha christie shit

amogus

HOT AIR BALLOON!!!!

that was one hell of a maneuver, throwing the tirdoron into the bay like that

kamen riders these days, always having personal revelations when falling off buildings

i may not be far into drive but i doubt this is the only time drive will have chase's help

oh rip

aaaaaand megahex is here!!!!

Part Full Throttle

and now time for the obligatory monster army

"i am kamen rider drive, a humble civil servant"

"im kamen rider gaim, im like some kind of space god, i think?"

MECHA-KAITO???????

unfortunately for megahex, their recreation of kaito was too accurate

"we'll handle things here, go and take this level 1 guy who just showed up to handle the superboss"

your friendly neighbourhood roidmudes just showed up

visions of crossover

obligatory crossover forms!!! type fruits actually doesn't look too awful, drive arms is kinda eh though

megahex doesn't even know what the hell happened

now it's time to destroy a planet, in a car!!! an orange-powered space car!!!

i dearly love kamen rider sometimes

obligatory giant cgi abomination battle, complete with backseat driving!!!

have you ever done star wars in a car before

now you have

"fruit tire attack"??? mr belt you're getting as bad as shinnosuke with the names

and then they kicked a planet so hard it exploded

rip kaito, again

one last gaim reunion before we're back to space!!! :D

lupin will return,,,,,,

well that was definitely one of the better movie wars, id say second best up to this point i think :D

[stickers-on-a-laptop]

it's very funny to me when i get caught up answering people and then go back to the movie and go OH. i was gonna make a stupid comment right.

anyways kouta is using rainbow power to try and stop megahex in case anyone was wondering

[letmeliedown]

after i finished megahex i looked at simon hanselmann’s twitter and the first thing i see is fanart by phil elverum?? an unexpected but certainly not unwelcome crossover

[asknarashikari]

Two questions

1. Do you think Megahex being able to kill Kouta made sense?

2. Do you think Melo and Mela would have actually been a threat to Kouta had they met?

I think so? Megahex was a Man of the Beginning like Kouta was, so in theory they were on the same power level. He also had the advantage of being able to read memories, a power which Kouta may also have but hasn't been seen using in canon.

Maybe, since he did claim to have killed deities and claimed their powers for himself, not to mention he was able to neutralize Ace for a while. On the other hand, Ace being able to defeat him does prove that he is not all-powerful even with all the godly powers he claimed to have. So it could go either way.

[teenagefeeling]

ok im making headway into my pile of comics (finished 2 of 8 so far) and i just started megahex and the way nothing prepared me for the revelation that the cat is her boyfriend

also do not @ me for checking out so many books from the library..... i actually read a solid 2/3 of them that's pretty good imo
