Cowboy Ninja Viking Deluxe

LIBRARY JOURNAL --What isworse than unleashing an individual with three distinct and psychopathicpersonalities into the citizenry? Intentionally creating multiples of thepsychotic assassins (code named "the triplets") and allowing them to get loose.Like most foster monsters-after the carnage, they (all of the personalities)start seeking answers about themselves and their creators. Hunting down,collecting, and containing this plethora of misfits-the job of Cowboy NinjaViking-is daunting and convoluted, to say the least. Lieberman (HarleyQuinn; Martian Manhunter) has envisioned an edgy and complex realmseasoned with staccato-like dialog and machine-gun pacing. Canadian artistRossmo (Drumheller; Company of Men), with letterer Cowles,beautifully executes a chaotic ink style that illustrates the characters'relentlessly ongoing internal conversations. The bold, creative use of color andprinting varnishes reflects this as well. Collects all ten single issues of theseries, plus an original story.VerdictMature fans of the Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino film genres coupled withposter-art style illustration will enthusiastically embracethis.
