Relentless slaughter。 Hilarious。

The Shaolin Cowboy destroys zombies in a choreographed ballet of violence。 The 2 page fight scenes go on wordlessly for over 100 pages of zombie annihilation。 It's incredible in it's audacity and sheer technical artistic brilliance。 As a reader though， it quickly get repetitive。 The Shaolin Cowboy destroys zombies in a choreographed ballet of violence。 The 2 page fight scenes go on wordlessly for over 100 pages of zombie annihilation。 It's incredible in it's audacity and sheer technical artistic brilliance。 As a reader though， it quickly get repetitive。 。。。more

Quina barbaritat。 130 pàgines de pur kung fu contra zombies。 Com una pel·li gore muda， amb un dibuix ESPECTACULAR。

Fantástico cómic。 Un ejercicio de virtuosismo en el dibujo y una acción perturbadora que te sumerge en el mundo de los sueños。 Más surrealista que el surrealismo。 En paso más en el cómic。 No se lo pierdan！

Shaolin Cowboy is certainly a technical achievement but it’s deeply unpleasant and not all that entertaining as a work of narrative fiction。 It also puts its worst foot forward by starting with a lengthy and totally irrelevant “previously on” that is one of the worst things I’ve ever read。

An exercise in illustration， this book is pretty much a whole action sequence， with extremely detailed art， but I would have liked more story， I confess I just started rushing through the pages at some point， the concept gets really repetitive after a while。

Show me a graphic novel about a monk with two chainsaws in the desert， insert some roving zombie hordes and sprinkle on glowing art critiques。 。 。of course you got me piqued。 But once I actually had the book in my hands， I became immediately aware that this was not at all the adventure I had imagined。 In fact， the adventure faded away abruptly into a front-and-center exhibition of walking corpse massacre and gritty cowboy resolve， stripped down naked， but also embellished with thoughtful tattoos Show me a graphic novel about a monk with two chainsaws in the desert， insert some roving zombie hordes and sprinkle on glowing art critiques。 。 。of course you got me piqued。 But once I actually had the book in my hands， I became immediately aware that this was not at all the adventure I had imagined。 In fact， the adventure faded away abruptly into a front-and-center exhibition of walking corpse massacre and gritty cowboy resolve， stripped down naked， but also embellished with thoughtful tattoos and micro-expressions。 Darrow piles on frame after frame of fleshy combat， begging us to take a closer look at the subtleties of this senseless violence。 As if to make up for the sagging plot， he ends it with an ironic twist， and then another scene befitting of that all-familiar lone-crusader yarn we all enjoy。 。。。more

What if one of the great illustrators in the medium wrote terrible TERRIBLE one-note kung-fu zombie apocalypses？ Could you appreciate the meticulous execution of panel after panel， page after page of nothing much happening beyond gore？

What stupidity did I just 'read'？Points for drawing ability but aside from the "previously on" description in 4pt font （which was amusing）， this is the most insipid concept。 Entire issues were composed of an ongoing repetitive fight with the titular cowboy wielding dual chainsaws vs naked zombies。 Shot after shot after shot of dismemberment ad nauseum。 Boring， stupid， and pointless。 What stupidity did I just 'read'？Points for drawing ability but aside from the "previously on" description in 4pt font （which was amusing）， this is the most insipid concept。 Entire issues were composed of an ongoing repetitive fight with the titular cowboy wielding dual chainsaws vs naked zombies。 Shot after shot after shot of dismemberment ad nauseum。 Boring， stupid， and pointless。 。。。more

A picture is worth a thousand words， right？ Well， if that's the case， Shaolin Cowboy is a Homeric Epic， because this book probably contains， at most， 40 words， while the rest is pure zombie decimation from the titular hero。 But， this book is far from epic。 Darrow's art is fun and gruesome， but after flipping page after page of zombies getting decapitated or eviscerated in multiple manners， it just grows repetitive。 I began playing a sort of Where's Waldo in each spread-out action panel， looking A picture is worth a thousand words， right？ Well， if that's the case， Shaolin Cowboy is a Homeric Epic， because this book probably contains， at most， 40 words， while the rest is pure zombie decimation from the titular hero。 But， this book is far from epic。 Darrow's art is fun and gruesome， but after flipping page after page of zombies getting decapitated or eviscerated in multiple manners， it just grows repetitive。 I began playing a sort of Where's Waldo in each spread-out action panel， looking for minute details and counting the number of random cats strewn about。 The panels are very cinematic， but it makes for like a nice 15 minute short （or probably less than that）。 The opening prologue was pretty funny， though， with it's tongue-in-cheek enemy corporations and general bizarreness。 If the book showed more of that， instead of merely filling you in about it， it might've been more enjoyable。 。。。more

I love the original SHAOLIN COWBOY run。 This feels like Darrow trolling his audience with 45+ pages of the same static panels Mr。 Cowboy murderizing a bunch of zombies。 There's no push or pull to the action， it's all one sided， and it's rather tedious to go through。 I love the original SHAOLIN COWBOY run。 This feels like Darrow trolling his audience with 45+ pages of the same static panels Mr。 Cowboy murderizing a bunch of zombies。 There's no push or pull to the action， it's all one sided， and it's rather tedious to go through。 。。。more

This book is REALLY graphic。。。but I think that Geof Darrow is tapping into yet another 'undercurrent' in our society。 A lot of the problems the Shaolin Cowboy faces are the extremes of an apathetic society that is buying the ticket to a roller coaster heading to the abyss。 As such I see the violence as a mirror to a much larger problem; Jean Baudrillard's concept of the hyperreal comes to mind。 This book is REALLY graphic。。。but I think that Geof Darrow is tapping into yet another 'undercurrent' in our society。 A lot of the problems the Shaolin Cowboy faces are the extremes of an apathetic society that is buying the ticket to a roller coaster heading to the abyss。 As such I see the violence as a mirror to a much larger problem; Jean Baudrillard's concept of the hyperreal comes to mind。 。。。more

2。5 stars rounded up。 The pun-filled introductory text and character design had me at 4 stars。 Much like the double-chainsawed staff running out of gas， the obsessively repetitive gore sapped my attention。 It wasn't the gore but the repetition that bothered me。 Naked zombies are chainsawed for over 45 pages and only their wounds， gender and tattoos change in static two-panel spreads。 Then nearly the same thing， but fist fights in small panels， for another 40 pages。 The Shaolin Cowboy: Shemp Buff 2。5 stars rounded up。 The pun-filled introductory text and character design had me at 4 stars。 Much like the double-chainsawed staff running out of gas， the obsessively repetitive gore sapped my attention。 It wasn't the gore but the repetition that bothered me。 Naked zombies are chainsawed for over 45 pages and only their wounds， gender and tattoos change in static two-panel spreads。 Then nearly the same thing， but fist fights in small panels， for another 40 pages。 The Shaolin Cowboy: Shemp Buffet is tedious。 I kept scanning the detritus looking for any variation as if I were reading a depressing Where's Waldo？ full of trash， limbs and rocks。 Therefore， I recommend Hard Boiled instead， which is similarly gory and also illustrated by Geof Darrow; however， Frank Miller provided the plot for that book， saving it from such intense repetition。 I have no doubt Darrow likes drawing detailed， linge claire gorefests。 He is great at it。 Unfortunately， all of the plot for The Shaolin Cowboy: Shemp Buffet is contained in the introduction， and nearly absent in the illustration。 。。。more

The question you have to ask yourself when you read any of The Shaolin Cowboy， but especially when you read Shemp Buffet， is "Is Geof Darrow just fucking with me？"This is the eternal question of Shaolin Cowboy。 Is this the greatest action comic of all time， and one of the most beautifully drawn books ever published， or is Geof Darrow literally just laughing at you， and possibly peeing on your lawn？This book is one 130-page long fight scene。 In one sequence， a single camera angle is held for 84 p The question you have to ask yourself when you read any of The Shaolin Cowboy， but especially when you read Shemp Buffet， is "Is Geof Darrow just fucking with me？"This is the eternal question of Shaolin Cowboy。 Is this the greatest action comic of all time， and one of the most beautifully drawn books ever published， or is Geof Darrow literally just laughing at you， and possibly peeing on your lawn？This book is one 130-page long fight scene。 In one sequence， a single camera angle is held for 84 panels straight。 The plot of this book is entirely summed up by the cover image。If there is one word that sums up Shaolin Cowboy， it might be 'compulsion。' No one could draw this book without a degree of compulsion bordering on insanity。 I've met Geof Darrow。 He is awkward but nice。 I think he's very earnest， and genuinely surprised and pleased by compliments about his work。 He seems like the kind of guy who only leaves his drawing table about once a year。I also think he'd have no qualms about peeing on my lawn， and when an artist goes as hard as he does， I think he can pee where he damn well likes。 。。。more

I don't get it， but the art work is fantastic。 I don't mind that the majority of the book was silent but I don't get it。 I like zombies， I like Shoaling Monks， I like Kung Fu and I even like chainsaws， but I dont get it。 2 stars because I don't get it and 4 stars for the art。 I don't get it， but the art work is fantastic。 I don't mind that the majority of the book was silent but I don't get it。 I like zombies， I like Shoaling Monks， I like Kung Fu and I even like chainsaws， but I dont get it。 2 stars because I don't get it and 4 stars for the art。 。。。more

A story told through the mind of an illustrator， the book tells through it's panels rather then dialog， much like one of Darrow's former comic conspirators， MOEBIUS and his famed Arzach series。 Shaolin Cowboy extends the idea of pantomime comics with a zombie-fighting， chainsaw-wielding Kung Fu cowboy。 If you like Darrow's other work （Big Guy and Rusty the boy robot， Hard-Boiled）， you're sure to enjoy the artwork in this A story told through the mind of an illustrator， the book tells through it's panels rather then dialog， much like one of Darrow's former comic conspirators， MOEBIUS and his famed Arzach series。 Shaolin Cowboy extends the idea of pantomime comics with a zombie-fighting， chainsaw-wielding Kung Fu cowboy。 If you like Darrow's other work （Big Guy and Rusty the boy robot， Hard-Boiled）， you're sure to enjoy the artwork in this 。。。more

well it is a visual buffet of tattooed zombie carnage。。。 but it was a tad confusing at times。 the little intro was written in such a ridiculously small font that i didnt bother reading it since it seemed like the author didn't want you to read it， maybe i would have understood more if i'd ruined my eyes dealing with the 5pt font。。。 well it is a visual buffet of tattooed zombie carnage。。。 but it was a tad confusing at times。 the little intro was written in such a ridiculously small font that i didnt bother reading it since it seemed like the author didn't want you to read it， maybe i would have understood more if i'd ruined my eyes dealing with the 5pt font。。。 。。。more

I think this is going to require a second or third read。 I sort of sped through it， fascinated with the brutality of the violence， and the artwork; I want to count how many different tattoos I see。
