 Comic Book Villains | The A.V. Club
Comic Book Villains opens with a shudder-inducing sequence pairing an endless pan across comic-book panels with a pair of goofy voices acting out a histrionic scenario suggesting the unholy offspring of an imitation Quentin Tarantino and a second-rate Kevin Smith.
Comic Book Villains flirts intermittently with the promising idea of using the fanboy geekiness of its comic-book milieu to undercut the macho posturing of Tarantino knockoffs, but mostly, it's a muddled mass of conflicting tones, moods, and acting styles.
Comic Book Villains' comic-store setting seems conducive to a cult following for the film, except that it insults its core demographic by having Brennan give a condescending speech about how comic books keep people from living in the real world.

 Dilbert: The Complete Series | The A.V. Club
Still, in accordance with Breathed's prediction, the strip is simplistic and static, easily reproduced on a shrinking comics page, and too rigid and small-scale to hold viewers' interest over the course of a half-hour TV show.
In the process, they lost much of the strip's universality, as they replaced jokes about brainless business-world contradictions with increasingly bizarre plotlines about aliens, mutants, the afterlife, the computer that rules the world, and—in the pilot episode—Dilbert's transformation into a giant chicken.
But when it finds a balance, the show is far funnier and more creatively colorful than the strip that spawned it, a surprise that even Breathed likely couldn't have predicted.
