I value that Poehler understands that women comedians do not need to be self-deprecating to be funny, as I seem like a large part of the existing female comedians have come under that pattern. Probably it’s due to the fact that I didn’t go into this publication with any type of real expectations, however I really did not discover it also remotely unsatisfactory. I appreciated her sincerity in a lot of ways– Poehler came off as a good friend telling me tales and giving me guidance, not as a comedian, which was great by me.

Since its initial publication, the comic book has spawned two successful television shows (including the new Netflix smash hit), and created an entire Sandman universe within DC, separate from the Batman and Superman comics most fans have heard of.

Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.
