Review: THE ADVENTURES OF DR MCNINJA OMNIBUS VOL 1 by Christopher Hastings

Dr MccNinja is an independently-produced webcomic by Hastings. Dark Horse Comics printed a huge dead tree collection, and that's what I'm reviewing.

The writing is a mixed bag. While the characters are generally pretty far out there, they're used in stories that are remarkably traditional. Not nearly enough use is made of the characters' inherent silliness.The art is similarly double-minded. Hastings is an excellent draftsman, and he draws certain things very well. Away from that comfort zone, though, he seems to lose confidence.

The biggest problem is that as a comic featuring ninjas, zombies, and banditos riding velociraptors, it's very violent. I don't recommend it.
