Quick thing to coment first, this is my 1st review ever, and I would like to add more detail, but 400 word limit. I may make a new one in the late future if I get better at making reviews.

Sinfest Review
I don’t know what happened to Tats, but clearly something big because now the webcomic has curve balled into an activism comic, specifically towards women, cisgender women. Sure we got something for black people a few times, (and a random throwaway panel for an Asian girl, of which now we know is Asian) but that was in conjecture with the shootings and seemed like easy bait for people who are into ham fisted SJW stuff. Oh, also anti-porn, because porn is the ultimate evil. Women have never chosen to go into porn and none of them like doing it. Don’t seek interviews of women in the business who says they enjoy it, those women are lying.
But onto the point, how did this turn change the quality? Well if you were a fan of Sinfest of the past, remember all those political comics Tats made, and how they were in-your-face, not really funny, and just telling people what they already know and/or enforcing a view that you may not share? That’s this whole comic now, pretty much 24/7. Except it’s actually worse than that.
At least back then, there weren’t at least 27 storylines going on at the same time (the last time I counted, it has since grown). The characterization didn’t go back to square 0 and changed on from there to a large chunk of the cast. Those that haven’t changed don’t show up much or don’t talk if they do show up (save for Squigly). Tats insults ANYONE who doesn’t view him as right. The pacing has come down to a slog (and how can you with so many stories going everywhere). And the daily newspaper style doesn’t work for the way Tats wants to tell his tales at all. And pretty much the comic feels like a giant punch in the gut to all those who enjoyed Sinfest in the past. One thing that is the same to the older political comics was an influx of characters that weren’t needed.
My final words are this; Sinfest’s biggest strength was its characters. They were vast, charming, interesting, and sometimes even complex. The storylines may be weak at times, or were fantastic, but the characters were it’s driving force, and in the end, sometimes everything turned out alright. Now the characters are a shell, a shadow.
So what does this comic have working for it now? Nothing.
