Looks like Hellboy and Adventure Time had a kid.
The protagonist remind me of Kratos from GoW 2018, the guy even had a talking head.
I've literally said basically the same thing to a friend trying to describe it!
That is incredibly accurate
That is a super accurate description. This video made me really want to read it
now we need an animated adaptation by Genndy Tartakovsky
Ya beat me to it. As soon as he said "brutal action in a cartoonish style", I knew that these two would be a match made in heaven
THIS IS IT BROTHA
This screams “Rated R Adventure Time” to me and I like it
Was fortunate to obtain my very first copy from Andrew MacLean himself at a convention. He even drew Agatha on the inside cover. Haven't bought something that good at a con in so long. The artwork, the storytelling, it reminded me so much of Samurai Jack and The Witcher, but original in its telling and characters. A real gem of a comic series.
That's awesome!
During At Home Comic Con, Matt Draper blinded us with his beauty and majestic mane of hair
This story is what inspired me to finally pursue creating my own fantasy story called bloodfuck and I have to say I am endlessly thankful for not only this comic but this channel for making me realize it can be taken seriously.
Cool. this ispired me as well to work on y one novel series. it follows the shenanigans of two super-powerful best buddies on a quest for fame and glory. Its set in a gonzo world of superheroes, anime, mythology and alien gods.
It’s cool your’e doing more independent comic videos lately. I think a really good series to do a video on would be Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo!
That would be cool, but I would not envy the person having to read all of that in a short time frame to try and do an analysis.
Vincent Batten Eh, it’s not that long. I mean, it’s not any longer than a lot of Marvel/DC stuff.
Brilliant video, Matt. I've been fascinating with this series ever since you told me about it!
Thanks, Owen! It's so good!
my favorite comic art of all time
Never heard of this before, thanks for the introduction. Ready to spend $60 bucks on all three volumes right now
I've been reading since the kickstater it fucking rules it and Copra are two of my favorite indie comics of all time
It's friggin great, to be honest i didn't like 3 because of the shading but daaamn the action and world are great! Book 2 is my favoeite though
The Art looks like Adventure Time meets Mike Mignola
This is screaming for a Netflix adaptation. I'd be watching from dusk till dawn!! And beyond!
Reminds me of "Batman: Last Knight on Earth" with a warrior and a talking head.
I love Head Lopper. The talking head provides comic relief. It is a pretty fun series. MacLean publishes one over sized issue per quarter. There are four issues per year.
Thanks Matt for giving me another comic to add to my list during this quarantine. This definitely looks like an awesome comic to read.
Seems interesting. I've never heard of this.
It is AMAZING! Please check it out.
Yes it’s even better than anyone would expect. A true classic of the decade
It's friggin amazing,i came across it 2 years ago in while visiting Canada, amazing buy!
Image Comics is fairly unknown, sadly.
Because they have some really original and interesting projects
Seems very Mignolaish... gonna have to check this out.
I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on Harrow County. I personally love it for the same reasons I love the movie The Vvitch.
I freakin love the idea of a guy decapitating some monster... but like it doesn't work and now he's honor-bound to just carry the head around. Like now you're a babysitter for a talking head.
It's a great dynamic! Really makes the series' humor stand out.
Great comic. Andrew McClean does not disappoint. Excited to pick up Vol 4 this weekend. Been waiting for a while.
Your videos sound like John Mulaney talking about comics. I like 'em.
I've only read the first arc but i really enjoyed it. The art is fantastic and i love that the issues are double sized
Truly oringinal; it inspires me to work on my project. A saga about the shenanigans of two super-powerful best buddies on a quest for fame and glory.
I love this video. I love Head Lopper and it's great to see you creating a video about it. No doubt you're introducing hundreds of people to this great comic, and that's a fantastic use of your platform. Love that.
Thank you! So glad you liked it! I hope this pushes way more readers to the comic because it deserves it.
Nice. Didn't know vol 3 was even out yet!
You should check our Sean Gordon Murphy/Matt Hollingsworth collaborations as well as Mateo Scalera. Batman isn't my all time favorite but Sean Gordon Murphy draws the most wide but fast batman. All of his human anatomy feels almost Jack Kirby inspired, like Headloppers art feels.
I freaking love McLean art, and Headlopper is amazing. Can you make a video on Orc Stain by James Stokoe?
I love Stokoe. Probably going to do a Dead Orbit Video first, also did a Half Century War Video last year.
@@MattDraper Oh great! I didnt know about your video on Half Century War, I just recently found this amazing channel
Finally a head lopper video, geez mate i've been waiting 2 years for this!
Dude, this book is so good. Love the analysis.
Hellboy and Zelda? Sign me up, this looks very cool
Hey there,i just want to thank you for this video,i've never heard of this comic a thanks to you,i bought first volume recently,and i enjoyed it,so once again,thanks
Another great analysis Matt. In the future, could you please dona video for East of West? That is my favourite image comic book series.
Never Heard of this comic, But it sounds like something I would like. Definitely putting this on read list.
Read the whole series thanks to this video and loved it. Wonder wat other image series matt would recommend
Absolutely adored the video dude, keep up the good work! And if you're taking any suggestions, what about Superman: Secret Identity or Waid and Johns' run on The Flash. But except that, fantastic video man!
Great work as always Matt!
A comic I’ve never heard of before! Wonderful video Mr Draper, as always, I look forward to the next one. xx
Thank you, Wen! Head Lopper is so good, I had to get out word on it.
This reminds me a lot of Halloween Boy! I think it'd be a very interesting indie comic to cover for sure!
great job as always matt
Finishing up the final volume. Absolutely awesome on every level. If you like Conan, Witcher, or D&D you will be well entertained.
If it is possible, I really love your Daredevil videos, how they explain the stories and tones of Daredevil, and I have not seen such greatness in a comic since Frank Miller's run. Nocentti, Bendis, and Waid are all good comic book writers, but the Frank Miller run is at top along with Chip Zdarksky. I was wondering if you can make a video on Zdarksky's Daredevil run or even Brubaker since you mentioned him once, but mainly Zdarsky who is at the top right now, writing great and original stories who have entered the hearts of the readers. Thank you for making these videos because I learn so much.
I’m really going to have to check this out, another great recommendation!!
Good stuff man!
Finally. Comic book I read before the review.
Could totally see this as an animated series....especially after watching Primal
Hey Matt I've been watching your videos for a while now I really like your in-dept analysis of comic books (especially the obscure ones) how you explain them and all that may I suggest Sandman by Neil Gaiman. Great content keep it up.
This comic looks awesome!
I want to see this as an animated show for adults. This would be perfect for adult swim or hbo
Do you think you’ll do a follow up on Mulgrid’s stair? Or are you waiting till more volumes come out?
This comic FUCKING RULES
Never heard of this, but I dig it
Cool I'll check it out
Great video once again if u get the chance to I think a good series to do is Bone
Hear it’s made by image comics, buys instantly
You’re on a roll Mr.Draper. B) ever consider doing B.P.R.D.?
BPRD will happen. But one more Hellboy video to set that up first.
Please do Maus by art spiegelman
I second this, I'd love to hear Matt's thoughts on one of my all-time favourite comics!
Owen, you're not my boss!
@@MattDraper...not yet
I feel like my brain has been conditioned so that, every time you say "X and his friends will have to stand together if they want a chance to win(something like that)" I immediately feel like eating Oreos.
Something like Beowulf
I may be a minority here, but I'm not that into Head Lopper, and yes, I have read all the volumes thus far. I just find that the only thing it has going for it is the artstyle and that doesn't even stay consistent. On the other hand, I don't think it's trying to be anything else.
