This is like A Serbian Film in comic form. Is it trying to be a comedy? It reads like it's trying to be funny, but all it has is an absurd premise, and that doesn't make something funny on its own. Pointing at the premise every couple of seconds and going "Look! Look how absurd this is! It's like Hanna-Barbara, but with rape!" doesn't make it funny either. It also reads like Child Porn Crow is supposed to be somewhat sympathetic and a victim of circumstance, and I hope that's not really the road it's going down. Ick.

This comic is awful no matter what genre it's supposed to be. It feels most like a comedy, but it's too predictable to be really funny. "Hm, I wonder if this is going to end in rape and/or murder? It did? What a shock!" One thing that did sort of work was the rapist landlord reacting like a stereotypical cartoon character to being hit on the end, only to be hit again and killed, but that's probably the closest to subtle the comic ever gets. It doesn't work as horror, either. The thing about the bad guy having complete control over the comic's reality could have been a little scary, but it's revealed too late to really matter, and he doesn't seem to be directly controlling reality before this. And it's not a drama, because there's barely a plot and all the characters are thinner than the shadow of a piece of tissue paper. You can't even enjoy following the villain, because everything always goes his way. And also because he's a murdering child rapist. Speaking of which, somehow the most unbelieveable thing in the comic is that, in-universe, it's drawn in Photoshop from death row, according to the infodump at the end. That's surprisingly nice of the prison system.
