Quote:
Fortune & Glory
Far more hospitable material for Bendis' art can be found in the three issues of 2000's Fortune and Glory (126 pages in TPB). In this autobiographical comic from Oni, he ventures into the outer rings of Hollywood hell to pitch his comics for movie development. The rigors of realism are abandoned for a spare and wholeheartedly cartoony style, one better matched to the caricatures of La La Land's support staff and to the figure Bendis carves of himself.

Total Sell Out
Discernment is in shorter supply in Total Sell Out (154 pages), a dredge net full of material retrieved from unguessable depths. In it, short pieces are divvied into segments highlighting collaborations, autobiography, "Schtick," portfolios, and puff essays. For the insatiable devotee it represents a sampler of Bendis' trivial preoccupations, shallow opinions, recitations stripped of insight, autobiography played for laughs, pop culture fascinations, limp satirical jabs and visualized disappointments along the order of those detailed above. For the satiable, it has its smiley-face moments.
