Hello, as it’s over.. uh.. many months since I promised to start it is now time to start with my first dissection. Why it took so long to get started? I’ll let this video speak for myself:
SO! my first dissection will be about the icon of finnish music made into comic: Lordi
Oh god the cover itself is so ugly, not because of the monsters but because it’s so DAMN DARK and blurry that I can’t quite fathom it. Don’t worry though, I made it aaal better as you can see below;
All better. Don’t argue.
So. This atrocity is made by Petri Hiltunen, Mattipekka Ratia and Mr. Lordi himself, of course. Seems like Lordi is quite an artist dispite of his very visible handicap of being a half-demon troll monster with spiky face and he did quite good job on the first part of this five-part album. Let’s see how he did it.
This has to be the most violent page in the whole comic and I’m pretty sure you can belive me. A demon-troll being born by jumping out of her dead mother’s womb and then, as one-second-old, kills a bear. OH ISN’T THAT JUST DARLING WITTLE THING
Mr. Lordi truly was a cute little baby, he and his zombie-animal friends
Don’t fuck with him or he will fist you to death!
Okay, I can’t stand that any longer let’s get on with the next chapt.. heeeeey Petri Hiltunen, I love that guy he did all those awesome wild west comics and few sciense fiction albums too, he’s an old veteran in the Finland’s comic book markets.
So, a pharaoh called Amen-Ra who kills people because of politics. And he apparently is HIRED killer to boot, who even steals the wives of his victims..
I mean, uh, isn’t he like the GOD of egyptians and doesn’t really need money or women or something. I’m kinda lost here on the idea and MIND of this whole thing but oh well.. let’s move on, now he apparently blew his one mission and after some dude stabbed him on the face and he became all ugly 😦
And that made him somehow love the taste of human heart so much he became kinda insane. Remember me to never fuck up my face or I will start eating people’s innards.
..okay, to be honest he started to eat hearts to make people fear him because it was revealed he was an assasin but still.
And then he died.
But don’t worry, he will come back as a zombie yayy!
The next part will be presented to you by.. THE WOBBLYCOPTER!
OH GOD WHAT IS THAT! Is this person serious!? I thought they were professional cartoonist but this does not look professional! I mean, he can’t even grasp size comprehension orwhateveritiscalled, look:
So.. the plot is that Kita-looking of creature was found dead and some good-for-nothing biologists who hate eachother started to work on it to figure out what the heck it is. They seriously hate eachother, see:
I mean, come ooon, you found an alien! You better like eachother or even just be.. you know.. polite. And wtf is wrong with your feet and postures people? They should be refrigerated and inspected on the table instead of that monster, those “people” are hideous.
Also, the lack of anatomy on this one just tickles me:
Yes, people. Bones are there to actually support muscle.
Also, those flying triangles are supposed to be glass shards that come from the front of those people, but it looks.. I don’t know. You tell me
I think it’s cheese.
You know what I hate to happen in comics? When the only way to make things look dangerous and angry is give them The Angry Eyebrows, even if they are canines:
They are so much less scary if you just change their eyes
In fact, I think they just want to have a tea party with him
He actually likes coffee more.
Bonus:
Oh what absolute bollocs that part was, let’s see about the next.. heeey..
Petri Hiltunen to the rescue! This is actually my favourite part, even that Ox kinda dies in it..
Why is this my favourite part? Well, look at this page
If you still don’t get it, look again and look untill you are enlightened with the awesome that is the zombie-army and proper cartoon art that saves this sad little thing.
ONWARD!
The next part is again by that wobblycopter-dude and it’s kinda hard to not notice
Ohh god what utter rubbish this is, though I had a good laugh at the very first page
I kinda see what he tried with that road turning into a movement-line but.. no.. just no. This whole part is so bad I didn’t even bother scanning more of it or anything it just sucks. It has the usual “Her dad beat her and she couldn’t get married to the man she wanted WAH WAH”-storyline, only with more witchcraft and failart.
I am so glad I bought this for 2€ from the clearance sales, otherwise I would be sobbing in a corner. This would’ve been good if only Petri and Mr. Lordi would’ve done this but no. They had to take that.. wobblycopter-man into this, what were they thinking!? Was he let in from pity?
But now as I know the stories of each of the monsters I have to wonder.. why haven’t anyone called PETA yet!? You sadistic, nasty, evil people! after these poor animals have been beaten, gone trough wars, persecuted and half of them even died just to find out they will never be able to rest in peace, they still use them in show-business!
These poor, almost defenseless animals are being forced to play heavy metal for our amusement, some of them even have open sores who no one treats! just look at Kita, his face is nothing but open sore and no one never changes Ra’s bandages! We need to do something!
That’s all I got for my first entry. I hope you didn’t notice I kinda suck at using wordpress because I am a wordpress-virgin, so.. meh. I’ll go pop open a bottle of Smirnoff Ice now. I deserve it after that rubbercopter and rubberjaw..
Without a doubt, this and the free bonus video are the most entertaining comic summary I have yet read.
Bengo
For your amusement…

Aww, thanks 😀
..gotta speed up and pop out another one. Hopefully as entertaining, too
The video went over my head, but great comic book piss-take. Sad to see no Moomins though!
very nice
i’m a italian fan of lordi
mr.lordi i love you
I think this comic would be an utter masterpiece if it was just Petri and Mr. Lordi who drew it…the other artist has no merit for what he tries to achieve.
Either way I think the parts drawn by the aforementioned talented artists are very well done, and otherwise is a very nice comic.
Hahaha!!! Gore! GOREEEEE!!!
I mean, yes, that one page looks awesome for real!…but the others…
well, I didn’t take Lordi seriously before…and I’m still not taking it seriously.
Lol, Kita is slapping wolves into pieces. xD
His name should be Silppuri.
More gore YOUR BODY HAS ROOM FOR /powerthirst
I think Lordi is good as a lighthearted, fun band with good shows. At least I’d be amazed to see anyone take them seriously.
Kitasilppuri.. that’s a crossover I’d like to see!
I still cringe at the artist who did Kita’s and Awa’s story, they deserve a better comic artist, honestly i know a few people who can draw better then him
BTW are you going to review their other comics?
I know about 2.5 million people who can draw better.
I JUST bought Lordi – Verenjano and I certainly have much to say about it!
This was a stupid review. Way to make the drawings look stupid. Also, I think Mr. Lordi slipped some comedy in there, he’s quite a comedian in person.
Mr. Lordi was actually rather good, only bested by Petri Hiltunen.
I’m re-doing this entry, by the way (it’s my first entry ever) so if you got suggestions, go wild! Suggest.
