Oh My Goth! Version 2.0 Paperback – February 6, 2002

I bought this for my teen who is a huge Voltaire fan. This is the favorite scent but all of them smell great

I enjoy a lot of Voltaire's works, including his music and books. It was no surprise that I enjoyed this comic, as well. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys dark or sick humor. There's a lot of it.

I like Voltaire's art style, but I wish he'd gone with a more comic-lettering-type font when updating all the lettering, the old English font is a little jarring compared to the surrounding artwork. I also wish he'd kept the dialog balloons as-is rather than overlay them with amorphous whitespace for the text to live in. Other than that, I love the content itself. The same dark humor that permeates his music is showcased here.-- Ben

I love that Voltaire never takes himself too seriously, but he also stays very true to the goth scene. This graphic novel is witty and original. A definite must buy for goths and the goth at heart.

Regardless of whether you are a goth, wish you could be one or just love reading the comics that seem to be found in the hands of goth comic fans, you will enjoy this book. Created by goth musician Voltaire, he gives his own humorous spin on the whole goth satire thing. And he does it quite well.Focusing around the self absorbed alien Heironymous Posch, the comic quickly starts on it's intended purpose- to showcase the good, bad & ugly side of the goth culture. You see just about every single version of goth & in so doing you actually see the same stereotypes that exist in any subculture!Now don't start thinking that Voltaire isn't capable of poking fun at himself either- he's just as likely to take a potshot at his real life self as much as he will mock any of the random characters in this book. Some people may not like this series, but then those are the people who just don't understand that any way of life can be made fun of!

I thought I could not go wrong with a comic by Voltaire, as I am a huge fan of his music. But this was a letdown.the Illustration is very poor and thus the story line is hard to follow. Voltaire's humor within this book seems overdone, furthermore I found the satire to be unoriginal, and off-putting. It's not that I can't take a joke, but these jokes are ineffective.

From the moment I saw the mail man pull up my drive way I knew my comic was finally here! And after running full speed to him ( and tripping on a few bushes...that by the way did jump out at me) I grabbed from him the most genious, humourous thing I had ever had the pleasure of beholding. I sat down on a the closet thing I could find ( which might have been a cat ) and read that book until the very last page...and then I read it agian..It took me on a marvolous jouney to Hell and back...literally...going through a handful or maybe a silver semi truck painted black ful of funny events and happenings...If you have any sense of humor what so ever even f your not a goth....you should order it today...it's phantasmagorical!

I picked this book up as soon as it came out a few years back. I have left my Gothness since then but I still enjoy Voltaire's work. It has a sense of humor and isn't afraid to make fun of everything. And I mean everything. It is an enjoyable diversion from reality and it won't make you dumb. Hmm, something uncommon.
