Hey /co/, I met Jim Zub at a con earlier in the year, he was wonderful as always. I picked up his latest book but I haven't read it yet. So I figure let's do that now.
I don't remember what he said it was about.
Not really a fan of Skullkickers or his Thunderbolts or what I've read of Glitterbomb but sure, OP. Thanks. Looks very magical girl.
This does not look like a soft landing.
I do really like this series and think it's an underappreciated gem.
These "Japanese" people are already triggering me desu
>>87633271
kek, these dudes have fucking tanto
Jesus, that escalated quickly.
Uh oh, some kinda of samurai turtles!
REEEE!
>>87633333
>>87633354
Clearly they're Pepes, not turtles.
Are the Japanese turtle monsters the one with a cup of water on their head or something?
>>87633395
Kappa, they're called, yeah.
End of issue 1.
Going to skip the letters, because I never read them.
ISSUE 2
>>87633439
They're stupid.
>>87633522
eh, in my local folklore we just have literal horses that live in lakes
>>87633544
Like sick aqua horses?
>>87633579
They're not made of water. They come out of the lake all friendly and if you ride on them they drag you down to the bottom and eat you.
Shockingly a Japanese highschool student knows what a loli is.
>>87633640
Eh that's pretty cool. But do you really need the lesson of "don't ride wild horses?"
Aww check out this sick bancho motherfucker.
Love interest? I hope so.
>>87633693
It's fine. We have werewolves who catch fish and leave them at the windows of poor houses so they have something to eat. Fear the horses, trust the wolves.
Ugh, the horrible Japanese squat toilets.
Shit this suddenly got dark.
>>87633722
That's a little fucked.
Wow shits getting pretty nuts.
And that's issue 2.
Lots of cooky shit is happening.
ISSUE 3.
And now here's the crew fighting a skellington.
Thanks for the storytime OP.
There's something about this comic that just doesn't jive with me, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe I'd like it better with a different artist. Or maybe it's just a little too weeb. Zub's a pretty nice guy at least. Gonna keep readin', maybe it'll grow on me.
Gal Gadot want your guts.
And that's #3. Fuckin' weirder and weirder.
ISSUE 4.
>>87634617
Eh, so far I think its quite good. Always been a fan of Zub.
Watch out for the CHUDs.
Oh fuck! CHUDs!
>>87634838
and there's the plot hook I was waiting for. Is that some kind of fucking FATE ENGINE?
Man they're fighting ninja turtles in the sewer.
>>87635255
Wish I knew, haven't read this before.
Horrible tongue monsters. Dammit
Oh fuck this is getting out of control.
Is anyone not a badass?
Ru roh.
Issue 5. Last one for the night.
Oh fuck. Everything's going to shit faster than I would have possibly imagined.
Spoke too soon.
End of issue 5 and book 1.
And half the crew is dead. Or are they?
Will storytime the rest tomorrow evening.
Not posting the cool history pages at the end, OP? That's a shame.
Again, one of the books I look forward to. Every now and then, it takes a 3 month break, but I enjoy it.
>>87636357
I typically don't read them so I assume no one else does.
I'll include them next time if people want.
>>87636476
We want it
>>87636476
I'd love to see them.
>>87632972
Met Zub at a con earlier this year as well. He was a really nice fellow.
Really gotta pick up his Samurai Jack omni sometime.
