In the last sequel to Hopeless Savages, Twitch, Arsenal, and their boyfriends go on overseas. What happens? Find out in Hopeless Savages: Too Much Hopeless Savages.
Need a vacation? Be wary of taking one with the Hopeless Savages. This clan of punk rock agitators churn it up at home and in Hong Kong with plenty of espionage hijinks in tow. Too Much Hopeless Savages is too much mayhem, too much fun and too much to put down.
While the pacing is different in this book as compared to the earlier two volumes, I think taking a different angle gives the reader the chance to learn things about Arsenal that we might not otherwise be able to. It was a bit more pat of an ending, I'll say that, but at the same time it does bring the emotional girth of its predecessors. Great series, I hope there will eventually be more.
I didn't LOVE this as much as the first two volumes, but still enjoyed it quite a bit. I wish I had picked these up 10 years ago.
The first volume of Hopeless Savages was comedy. The second was drama. This third volume is an adventure. It's actually the weakest of the three volumes, though still plenty enjoyable. It's an insane tale of intrigue, family drama, relationship troubles, and action. Arsenal Fierce Hopeless-Savage takes centre stage, and she's a fun character, though less charming than Skank Zero. The fact that brother Twitch Strummer played a major role is nice, especially since it also involved his boyfriend. C...
I really liked the focus on some of the other characters in the Hopeless-Savage family in this one, and as usual, all of the characters are quirky and interesting. I also like the way that the story is framed as a letter to Zero’s boyfriend Ginger. However, I found the plot of this graphic novel a little weaker than the other two in the series. It does not quite live up to the other books, but it is still a good read. I give it three out of five stars.
More, please.
Check out my review of HS: Ground Zero. That pretty much works for the whole series!Additionally, this volume is more like Hopeless Savages meets James Bond or something. Which feels like it takes away a bit of the reality but does add some flair to the plotline.
Van Meter is back on the wacky plot train again with this one. Valuable objects placed in bags for no reason, is she pregnant or not?, kidnappings again, and mysterious spies and action figures. I would rather have read about how Arsenal hooked up with her brother's boyfriend's brother.
I was at the library with Solomon, mostly just to return all our library books and pick up a hold before we went on vacation, when I saw the danger sign: The Book Burrow was open. New plan: load up on cheap library discards to keep the kids entertained in the car. We ended up buying eight books. Clearly, this was one. I snatched it off the shelf, delighted. It had been years and years and years since I had read Hopeless Savages. I couldn't remember where I had left off or had any idea where in r...
The second and third volumes are my favorite of the "Hopeless Savages" series. Each volume focuses on a different Hopeless-Savage daughter. The first volume's standard 'punk' tropes are forgotten in favor of delicious humor and drama and heart. It's my second foray into Oni Press after Scott Pilgrim and it didn't disappoint.
I didn't think this one was as good as the other two. The art is still charming, and I loved the flashbacks, but it had too much of a twisted James Bond type plot and I frequently couldn't figure out what the hell was going on.
The Hopeless Savages series takes an interesting twist in the third and final (?) volume, which finds Twitch and Arsenal taking their respective boyfriends (who happen to be brothers) with them to Hong Kong so that Arsenal can take part in a martial arts tournament. Once there, however, they get involved in a plot straight out of a Jackie Chan movie, with items being surreptitiously placed in people's belongings for safekeeping, leading to action-packed chase scenes and fights between members of...
The formula for the previous volumes sways a teeny tiny bit in this volume. While there's been action in the series before (the parent-napping) it's never really been that overly unbelievable for a comic. This volume sort of pushes the envelope for this series. This volume mostly surrounds the exploits of Arsenal H-S as she & her brother Twitch travel to China with their boyfriends to see their grandmother. However once there Arsenal not only runs into an old childhood bully who severely hurt he...
This is my least favorite of the three volumes. While it was still interesting, it was too chaotic and disorganized for me to really get into it. I love the characters, but in this volume I felt more apathetic towards their struggles. Definitely not as funny or engaging as the first two volumes.
