Holey Mol-ey! Am I in love with the one web comic in
world history to star an Irish Ninja physician! Dr. McNinja is all three things
rolled into one and his world is totally insane. Helping McNinja save the world
from evil is his gorilla secretary, Judy and his 12-year old sidekick, Gordito,
a cowboy that rides a velociraptor and bears a full mustache.
If this series seems completely nuts, it is! There’s
definite elements of the Tick, Deadpool, and Supernatural Law. But the comic
that is the most like Dr. McNinja is another classic web series known as Axe
Cop! This series isn’t written by a six-year old. But when I read McNinja
speck, I hear Axe Cop’s voice in my head. (Axe Cop is also an animated feature
on Fox and is voiced by the epic Nick Offerman of Parks and Rec.
Adding to the craziness are the tiny blurbs on the
bottom on each page by series creator Christopher Hastings. They’re like a
director’s cut for the absurd.
I found this book at my local library. I love that
place. I am so glad that they had this book as well as a second volume in the
series, which I look forward to eagerly. I have only read one book so far, yet
Dr. McNinja has already become not only one of my favorite independent comics,
but one of my favorite comics series of all-time. Fantastically bizarre stuff.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
