Henry & Glenn Forever & Ever, Issue #3 might be the best one yet. Issue #2 ended with Glenn's mother coming over to visit and Glenn running away. Issue #3 starts out with Henry looking for him, ending up at a live karaoke place, but Glenn's mother shows up there as well. Worse yet, she's singing old Misfits and Danzig songs with the lyrics changed to reflect Henry & Glenn's love. What will happen in Issue #4?
The Henry & Glenn series is written by a number of different people, but I was surprised to see one series of panels drawn by MariNaomi, the author of I Thought YOU Hated ME. Like the other issues, there are references to pop and alternative music galore. Glenn even sings "Showboat" to Freddie Mercury, the Queen of Gaydes to rescue Henry from the afterlife. Like usual, this is a rip-roaring adventure through alternative music and the gay subculture.
