So I spent a hour or so reading interviews from Grant Morrison on other writers. He seems to have a issue with a lot of other high profile writers. However, the funniest one was with Mark Millar. Not sure what happened to break their friendship but Grant is NOT a fan of Mark Millar AT all. Grant goes as far as to say if he sees Millar again he's hoping he's going 100 Mph. Fucked up huh?

So why am I saying all this? Happy! reminds me of a Mark Millar story BIG time with a little bit more social commentary on the subject matter of life.

Happy is about a used to be cop having a really shitty life. After losing everything, including his wife, he goes on murdering bad people. However, he has a heart attack on a mission and then this little blue dude named Happy comes and tells him he needs his help. The two go through hell together trying to find this Santa Clause who's kidnapping kids to fuck them and kill them.

Good: Pacing is a breeze. There's hardly a moment to breath. Even the flashbacks are quick and right to the point. The murdering sprees are nasty but that's the point. The dialogue could be really funny at times too. I liked Happy a lot, he cracked me up.

Bad: The story is filled with fucks more than just about any comic I've seen. This is why I think it reads like a Mark Millar book but even more cursing somehow. Also, it's ending just happens, very quickly.

This is actually a really fun book in my opinion. While not amazing it's super fun and worth checking out for something different than the average Morrison clusterfuck mindfuck book. A 3.5 out of 5.
