Cowboy Ninja Viking Deluxe

LIBRARY JOURNAL --What is worse than unleashing an individual with three distinct and psychopathic personalities into the citizenry? Intentionally creating multiples of the psychotic 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 Ninja Viking-is daunting and convoluted, to say the least. Lieberman (Harley Quinn; Martian Manhunter) has envisioned an edgy and complex realm seasoned with staccato-like dialog and machine-gun pacing. Canadian artist Rossmo (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 and printing varnishes reflects this as well. Collects all ten single issues of the series, plus an original story.
Verdict Mature fans of the Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino film genres coupled with poster-art style illustration will enthusiastically embrace this.
