MBQ holds a special place in my heart as one of those gritty, underrated gems that doesn’t pull any punches. Volume 1, if I recall correctly, spans 12 chapters—each packed with Filippo’s raw, unfiltered storytelling and artwork that feels like a punch to the gut in the best way. The way he balances dark humor with street-level drama is just chef’s kiss. I stumbled upon it years ago in a used bookstore, and it’s one of those series that lingers in your mind long after you’ve closed the pages. The chapters are tight, often leaving you hanging with this mix of frustration and anticipation, which is why I ended up binge-reading the whole volume in one sitting. It’s not every day you find a comic that feels so alive with chaos and authenticity.
If you’re new to MBQ, Volume 1’s chapter count might seem modest, but trust me, the density of each chapter makes up for it. Filippo crams so much attitude and world-building into those 12 installments—from O’Connor’s deadpan delivery to the absurdity of fast-food rivalries turned violent. It’s like 'Trainspotting' meets 'Clerks,' but with its own unique flavor. I’d argue the shorter chapter list works in its favor; it doesn’t overstay its welcome, and every moment feels necessary. Plus, the pacing keeps you hooked without dragging out subplots. Now I kinda want to revisit it again…

QB VII is one of those courtroom dramas that sticks with you long after you’ve turned the last page. It’s based loosely on real events, which adds this chilling layer of authenticity. The story revolves around a libel trial where a Polish doctor, Adam Kelno, sues an American writer, Abraham Cady, for accusing him of performing brutal medical experiments on Jewish prisoners during WWII. The title refers to "Queen’s Bench VII," the courtroom where the trial unfolds. The narrative shifts between past and present, revealing Kelno’s alleged war crimes and Cady’s relentless pursuit of justice. The tension is palpable—you get this slow burn of revelations, testimonies from survivors, and the moral weight of history pressing down on every character. What makes it gripping isn’t just the legal battle but the way it forces you to question memory, guilt, and how far someone will go to bury the truth.
Leon Uris doesn’t just tell a story; he drags you into the emotional turbulence of post-war reckoning. The survivors’ testimonies are harrowing, and Kelno’s defense is this masterclass in desperation. It’s not a light read, but it’s the kind of book that makes you put it down just to process what you’ve read. The ending leaves you with this unresolved heaviness—justice isn’t neat, and the past never really stays buried. I still think about it whenever I see debates about historical accountability.

MBQ is one of those underground comics that hit like a freight train when you first stumble upon it. The raw, unfiltered energy in those pages is unforgettable, and it all traces back to its creator, Felipe Smith. This guy wasn’t just writing and drawing—he was venting. The story’s chaotic, hilarious, and sometimes brutal vibe feels like a direct line to his brain. Smith’s background as an Argentina-born, U.S.-raised artist adds this unique cultural friction to the work, especially in how it tackles ambition, absurdity, and the grind of making art.
What’s wild is how 'MBQ' became his breakout. Before it, he was grinding through art school and odd jobs; after, he landed gigs with Marvel, even creating characters for 'All-New Ghost Rider'. But Volume 1? Pure indie lightning in a bottle. If you’ve ever felt stuck between dreams and reality, Smith’s scribbles and sarcasm will feel like a kindred spirit.
