There are many different types of comic fans, some enjoy western tales have Jonah Hex, fans of Ninja's can read Daredevil, those who enjoy Vikings have Thor and image comic's Viking, people who enjoy insanity in their comics can read Batman, those who love split personalities, people who like playboy billionaire's can read Iron Man, but everyone who reads comics can enjoy this new selection from Image Comics, Cowboy Ninja Viking. Aj Lieberman's and Riley Rossmo's is a comic that works well in so many ways. It has a non-chronological narrative which works well, giving it a Pulp Fiction feeling and makes the comic feel differently, in a good way, from most issues on the stands these days. The story of this issue is effective, giving a good introduction to all of the characters which will play out through this arc. The Cowboy Ninja Viking is recruited by an old accomplice, a doctor who has taken people with multiple personality disorders and made "Triplets" out of there three previous personalities. Duncan, the CNV is recruited to go after another rogue triplet, the Pirate Gladiator Oceanographer.
Rossman's art, is effective, utilizing a fairly typical image comics art style with only blue and some grays and black colours to convey the story. Sometimes the art feels like it takes bad angels and is compromised for the large dialogue, but while reading the story, thats not what passed through my mind, the story is so intriguing, so off beat that everything just meshed together nearly perfectly.
The comic is a crazy off beat one which will undoubtably intreats any one who reads it and will bring a smile to your face with its strange story.
8.5/10
