The Many Deaths of Scott Koblish

Scott Koblish dies a lot. Sometimes it takes him one page to die, sometimes two, but he always ends. This is a delightful wordless graphic novel collecting exactly what its title implies: the many deaths of Scott Koblish. My favorites are the meta-panels, in which his own drawings become the bringers of his doom - oh, and the snowglobe he recklessly shakes, not realizing that it will cause the parallel universe where he lives to collapse under a violent earthquake.

Pretty fun.

Scott Koblish is an artist with Marvel comics who has worked on titles like Deadpool, Spider-Man, and Thor. In 'The Many Deaths of Scott Koblish' he draws a collection of ways he might die.

From the realistic (falling down a mountain) to the fantastic (being abducted by aliens), there are pages of ways that the author could meet his demise. They are all told in pictures only with no dialogue. There is one recurring gag that I found especially funny.

They are morbidly dark, but they appealed to my sense of humor. The art is pretty good, and the situations are pretty imaginative. This book reminded me a bit of the parts of Groundhog Day where a character attempts many times to kill themselves. More recently this was done in the movie Doctor Strange. These sequences, and the comics in this book can remind us that we are all mortal, but that's no reason not to get a laugh in about it.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Chronicle Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

This is exactly what the title says. Koblish has dreamed up many inventive to off himself. The author is a gifted visual storyteller as he wordlessly sets up his little premises for his demise. A quick, darkly funny read.

Koblish accomplishes a lot with relatively simple images and no words. He's got a great sense of timing. And I love that somehimes we get exactly what we expect and sometimes the manner of death is completely out of nowhere. And the cat repeatedly tipping him out of windows and such. Delightful.

A collection of dark cartoons just as the title says depicting the many ways Scott dies. I esp liked the deadly cat. Enjoy

This was a fun one to read. Scott Koblish has illustrated many Marvel comic, depicting many ways to die. So in this book, he imagines the many ways he could die. Of course, it is all by illustrations. Each one with a different way for him to die. A little dark, yes, but hilarious at the same time.
