… of new comic books was pretty small, and my holiday budget breathes a sigh of relief. This afternoon I bussed up to Alien Worlds on North San Pedro to pick up this week’s arrivals from my pull-box. What I brought home from the store was:

Cowboy Ninja Viking! What will they think of next? That is just too cool.

“It started with Dr. Sebastian Ghislain: rogue psychotherapist/covert op/DJ. Tasked with creating a counter-intelligence unit, he turned to those long thought useless to society… patients with Multiple Personality Disorder. These agents became known simply as Triplets. Misguided? Yeah. Impractical? Sure. But did it work? Absolutely not. Now someone has located each Triplet and created a band of ridiculously disturbed, but highly effective assassins. Our only hope? A Triplet known as Cowboy Ninja Viking!”
So Duncan, the “good” triplet who is out to stop the bad ones has got a Cowboy, a Ninja, and a Viking all living inside his head. And they manifest themselves at unpredictable intervals.
The action is fast-paced, the dialog snappy, and the kinetic artwork suits the story perfectly. Lots of fun!
