It's ongoing mission is to satirize politics, poke fun at contemporary culture, survive extremely unlikely dilemmas, and to humorously go wherever the author's mind takes it. It's (mostly) a Star Trek parody and true to the original in that it's really about us and now. I liked it. In this second episode, economics, consumerism, and the heavy hand of commercial power are in the cross hairs. The story may not age well because of the contemporary references, but here and now, it's a hoot. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieWillful Child (2)
In the continuing adventures of the starship A.S.F. Willful Child, not-terribly-bright but exceedingly cock-sure Captain Hadrian Sawback and his motley crew embark on another rollicking ride through the infinite vastness of interstellar space. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Which is only fair, considering the title.
Fascinating references include time travel to Comicon in 2015 to find the missing Krill, dark universe hijinx with women commanding all the battleships, (including a female doppelganger for our favorite insane MC), and plenty of gorgeous and delightful references to other SFnal universes like Wall-E and Star Wars... because everyone should be heckled.
Including Sad Puppies. It was pretty glorious to join our heroes in the takedown that egalitarian utopia based on respect and reason, relocating them the way a nuclear bomb can relocate atoms in the wind of desolation. Obviously, the SJWs are the greater evil. Bigotry and wanton destruction is our species birthright. Huah.
Am I a big fan? Oh yeah. So much happens, so many SHARP commentaries, so many unbelievably wicked satirical moments.
These are the continuing adventures of the Willful Child, promoting the cloning of a boss's literal asshole to a shipful of aliens who all willingly severed a thumb to ceremonially place in the said asshole.
A bit edgy? Perhaps. But also funny as hell. ( )
