	Seaguy
		Seaguy is a three-issue comic book mini-series written by Grant Morrison with art by Cameron Stewart and published by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics.
		Seaguy is a super-hero who has never really had an adventure and spends his days in New Venice playing chess with Death, watching Mickey Eye (a cartoon show about an all-seeing, all-knowing eye) and going to the Mickey Eye amusement park.
		Seaguy exists in a world in which all the super-heroes are told that no longer needed by society and live mundane adventureless lives.

	THE HIGH HAT \| MARGINALIA: Seaguy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Seaguy lives in the seaside villa of New Venice (which appears to be in California or Florida), and the story opens with him playing a gondolier Death (complete with combover) at a chesslike game.
		Seaguy reads a pamphlet telling him that heroes of old proved themselves by climbing the mountain, so Seaguy (who is still underwater, mind you) climbs the mountain.
		Seaguy is being dragged down a hallway by Eye Police past a rocket-mounted shell that was worn by one of the heroes who fought Anti-Dad back in Issue 1.

	Highway 62: Oh Seaguy, My Seaguy!
		Which is kind of the opposite to my experience with it in the marketplace, as I had to actually buy the first two issues from a retailer other than my usual guy since he sold out of them in the first week and had to go back to reordering it.
		Seaguy, like oh, say Alice in Wonderland, could be read at the surface level and enjoyed quite easily.
		Seaguy, in particular is festooned with weird details and things that don’t seem to fit at first glance, but upon re-reading, connections are made and a certain (if not dreamlike) logic emerges.

		Unfortunately, the world he lives in is far too safe and sanitized to need his efforts, so he spends his time in New Venice playing board games with Death (that's right, the skinny guy) and visiting the theme park of cartoon character Mickey Eye, a walking eye who speaks like a Teletubbie.
		Seaguy is desperate to find a suitable quest to impress heroine She-Beard (so-called for obvious reasons) and live up to the example of the great hero Teknostrich - isn't that just the coolest name?
		I've read 'Seaguy' a couple of times already, and while some things make sense, I'm a little lost on some of the fine detail, such as one character's love affair with a talking butterfly.

	COMICON.com: STEWART'S SEAGUY
		STEWART: "Seaguy" is set in a peaceful utopian future world in which all evil was extinguished long ago, in the cataclysmic final battle between all Earth's superheroes and a colossal monstrous entity known as Anti-Dad.
		The greatest irony of Seaguy's name is that for most of the series he spends his time anywhere but under the sea.
		Seaguy is much more open, I've stopped restricting myself to tight grids and am experimenting with much larger panels, double-page spreads, splashes, insets, the lot.

	Seaguy - Grant Morrison, Cameron Stewart - Graphic novel review
		Seaguy is a satirical work that focuses on a redundant hero in an odd post-utopian world that doesn't need him.
		Naturally, everything isn't quite what it seems, and while finding an alternative reason for tearing himself away from the TV (the heart of a worthy but bearded woman) he discovers that his utopian world isn't everything it's cracked up to be.
		As is usually the case with Morrison's art partners, Stewart does a great job of keeping up with the bizarre requests made of him and adds a lot of character to the book with his clean style and attention to background detail.

	Seaguy #1 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Seaguy's sidekick is a cigar-chomping, floating flounder named Chubby who has a speech impediment similar to that of Derby Dickles, the original Green Lantern's chum.
		Seaguy is almost in the same vein of the Prisoner.
		Stewart contrasts the innocent aura that follows Seaguy and Chubby with disturbing iconic imagery especially prevalent in their visit to one eerie amusement park that reveals glimpses of conspiracy.

	Seaguy #1-3 - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		Seaguy's world is the Un-Magic Kingdom, where imagination is sapped away by television and no one needs heroes because "everything's great", in the words of one former hero.
		In Seaguy, the mad pharaoh who built the moon says, "Beyond taboo lies glory." Maybe so, but glory benefits only the people compelled to chase it, not those they step over to reach it.
		They rest of us are like Seaguy, left to live in the world they've bought -- the world of Celebration, Florida, where the snow starts at exactly nine P.M., as if by magic, and the baleful, unblinking Mickey Eye looks down from what used to be the moon.

	Strange-Haven.com News -- Grant Morrison Talks Seaguy
		The really quick skinny – Seaguy is an un…er, underemployed superhero in a world where the bad guys have been defeated, and there’s no real battle left to fight.
		It's not so much that there are conspiracies in Seaguy's world; it's more like our own world in the sense that the 'conspiracies' are out in the open but everyone's so content no-one cares enough about anything to make a difference.
		Seaguy would make a great cartoon series or cgi movie but, to be honest, it makes a much better comic because you get Cameron Stewart’s incredible artwork to look at and you can roll it up in your pocket and read it anywhere.

		The heroic Seaguy and his flying aquatic pal Chubby watch the hours slip by as they stroll leisurely through their unexciting lives.
		Oh sure, Seaguy plays the occasional game of skill with the spectre of mortality and even rubs elbows with legendary heroes whose deeds can never be replicated.
		Seaguy lives in a world where everyone is supposedly happy, where the super-heroes (the Super-Power) have solved all of the problems, where corporations tell the people they should be happy and could be just a little happier if they buy their products.

	TheFourthRail.com - Snap Judgments (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The world of Seaguy is one that blends a sort of benign weirdness in with a utopian happiness, but it all has a sort of sinister edge to it.
		He gives Seaguy a sense of place, and also does exceptional work with the storytelling, portraying Seaguy's almost manic-depressive mood swings and creating a world that seems real enough that the more unusual elements, like talking horses and fish or alien goo monsters, come off as a little more strange and fun.
		Seaguy is the cure for a wave of comics that take superheroes too damn seriously, a surprisingly fun romp that manages to be at once a popcorn read and one with deeper intent.

		It seems to be mainly about how corporations and brands are trying to homogenize the world and rob it of its special qualities, and of the power of the individual; after all, individuation is a key theme in most of Morrison's stuff.
		Seaguy is also the story of a child's life, or at least, I think so.
		Does the wink mean Seaguy remembers Chubby and is totally on top of the world, or that he only thinks he knows what's going on, but is really just a pathetic cog in the machine.

	PrettyFakes » Blog Archive » Southern Surveillance and Seaguy
		The plot of the story turns on Seaguy’s attempt to perform a truly heroic act to impress sword-wielding superheroine She-Beard, who is exactly as hirsute as advertised.
		Seaguy seems different though—seems to be aware of what he’s gone through in his adventures with Chubby and Xoo and the Wasps of Atlantis and so on.
		Morrison seems to be suggesting that attempts to suppress difference and maintain the status quo are doomed to fail because something always slips through the cracks, a kernel of idiosyncrasy that resists being assimilated, a bit of chaos kicking against the pricks of order.

	Seaguy #1 - Shiny Shelf
		What it means is that it's the work of one of the mere two writers in the whole history of comics who can even begin to be argued to be writers of the first rank full stop.
		We are on the verge of a world of the bittersweet, which suggests that the imminent Narnia adaptations may find themselves very well received by their audiences.
		Even if Seaguy does escape in a boat which is designed like it was in 'Attack of the Clones' but painted to look like a tiger.

	Barbelith Underground > Comic Books > SeaGuy enthusiasm
		Rich apparently didn't notice that "The Wasps of Atlantis" was the title of the already-published Seaguy #2, and also served as the original title for the first volume.
		SEAGUY must be is a long runner, and volumes 2 and 3 may come out sooner or later, who knows, whenever both parties are up for it...
		Well, judging from the clauses that appear to be involved in standard DC creator owned contracts (as recently leaked by Dave Sim) it appears that DC retain the right not to publish, which I guess precludes the author from then hiking their work around other publishers...

		Entitled Seaguy, the book centres on a utopian society where the need for heroes has been eliminated.
		When asked if Seaguy is a rip off of DC’s other water warrior, Aquaman, there is an edge of irritation to Stewart’s answer.
		Seaguy is a regular guy with no powers in a scuba suit.

	Jog - The Blog: The Contours of Artificiality (the pretentious title for my SPOILER-LOADED Seaguy review)
		Seaguy is a little like Xoo; he wants is to prove himself with a thrilling quest, catching the gal and netting the glory and finding purpose beyond what is provided to him.
		Seaguy winks at us, and picks opposite color (fl) than what he used at the start of the saga (where he only exploited Death‘s color-blindness by using Death‘s fl pieces - Seaguy was white).
		Seaguy saw the extent of their control, and even if he can’t remember it, he at least affected it, put a crack in the armor.

	The Silent Accomplice: February 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Doc Hero, a former superhero that Seaguy calls "one of the bravest men I know" is content to no longer fly under his own power, but to spend his days literally going in circles on an amusement ride.
		Seaguy's adventure on the moon is filled with wonder, yet equal amounts horror and Even the Mickey Eye amusement park, a very real symbol of fun and amusement, is clearly not fun for any of the attendees.
		The first hints that Mickey Eye is connecting to all the happenings surrounding Seaguy occurs here, when one XOO excutive uses the Mickey Eye phrase "Gidt!" Appropriate for the unblinking eye, Mickey Eye is revealed by story's end to control the environment for all the world (and beyond).

		In Seaguy, we are presented with a world that has suddenly become apathetic and happy living out its bland little life.
		Seaguy thinks that this is a great excuse to finally have an adventure, but soon the adventure takes a strange and unwelcome turn as Seaguy suddenly moves from his beautiful dayglo world to a world of repression and sees the grimy gears inside the colorful machine that the world has become.
		Seaguy might not be the most straightforward comic, but odds are you’ll be thinking about it long after you’re finished.

	Insult to Injury
		The artwork was perfect throughout -- the "comfort zone" that Seaguy and co live in is shiny and fun looking, but is still very evidently sinister, something that Cameron (with no small amount of help from colourist Peter Doherty) always keeps firmly in the foreground.
		And when we get into the high adventure stuff in issue #2, it looks every bit as thrilling and bizarre as it should, but there are costs to be payed for this sort of adventure, and the more melancholy/creepy elements of these parts of the stories come through brilliantly here as well.
		I hate the feathery little bastard, but this is surely the point: he matches the same formula as Chubby (talking animal with a silly name and accent), but somehow completley lacks the charm of that character.

		Seaguy is the story of a wannabe hero in a world where all the old super-battles have been fought and won long ago.
		When Seaguy stumbles upon what looks like an adventure, things start going from bad to worse so it’s partly about what happens when you break the rules in a ‘perfect’ society.
		Seaguy, however, isn’t as tongue in cheek as it may seem…not at all.

	View From The Cheap Seats » Seaguy #3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In SEAGUY, Grant Morrison and Cameron Stewart are exploring the classic “hero in a world he doesn’t belong in.” Seaguy is a lot like Aquaman would be if he just accepted how lame he really was and gave into that life.
		In the end of both miniseries, Seaguy and Marvel Boy are sent to a prison where, as readers, we’re left asking “what’s next?” when there’s no apparent next issue.
		SEAGUY is an answer to that, a Vertigo hero for the here and now.
