It's worth noticing for fans of the art that Tom Scioli released "American Barbarian" via AdHouse. Well worth a look if you enjoyed the insanity of Kamandi / Godland.

Wow I have to order that. It said you can't find it in stores which is a shame. Looks incredible.

Crazy!

My name is Oedi and I soar amidst the stars far from the planet of my birth. I guess this starship is the closest thing I've got to a home now, for I am a refugee and an outlaw. Vanth Dreadstar, Syzygy Darklock, Willow 327, Rainbow and Skeevo are my family. We are revolutionaries. Our goal? To bring an end to the 200 year old war between the Instrumentality and the Monarchy!

Just finished American Barbarian...it was amazing!

Simple, fun, imaginative and original. Most fun I've had with a comic since A Tale of Sand.

How many people ended up picking this book?

I preordered the thing a year ago because AdHouse tends to sell out and then it becomes a pain to get a copy.

How can you not like a story whose main villain is:

I just got AMERICAN BARBARIAN last week -- looks great. I have a few other things to finish first, but it's near the top of my read pile.

Um, I just assumed David was being sarcastic, but now you people are making me nervous.
You really didn't see that Two Tank Omen was supposed to be a riff on Tutankhamun??? Seriously???????????
C'mon...
I'm not the smartest cookie in the jar, but it was instantly apparent to me, particularly with that Egyptian headdress.

My excuse is I'm deaf, what do I know about pronouncation of Tutankhamun?

So... the Image solicitations suggest that Godland 36 is coming out on August 1st... anyone one wanna bet it'll get pushed back? I'm so looking forward to reading this comic entirely again from scratch.

I officially declare the wait on this comic has been -- Iboga-esque. This thread is over a year old for a single comic.

Hm im pretty sure Godland was the name of a place used in Fist of the North Star, a place inhabited by Nazi-esque superiority freaks.

Well, this story has none of that - just a lot of freaky deaky villains, and a bunch of super duper people with Kirby powers. And a talking, green alien dog!

I keep hoping image will reprint the celestial edition volume 1, but no sign of that it seems.

Hmmm -- Mr Gryphon, after some looking for your Celestial edition, I see what you mean! That's why I'm going to have mine bound into two volumes, or maybe three. I can't believe they've been piling up since 2005-ish...

I bought and read Scioli's AMERICAN BARBARIAN gn. It was all right.

Scioli's art is at the very least ... fun and dynamic. The ambitious layouts are sometimes weighed down by lackadaisical rendering.

The plot is good, the writing not so much. Overall, the impact of the work is burdened by its genesis as a web comic. I recommend it if you like Scioli's Kirby-homage art and conceptual outrageousness ... just don't have your expectations too high.

I'm hoping to see #31-37 collected in TPB someday.

just read it last night, im inclined to agree with you. its pretty light stuff and fairly uneven, as though Scioli couldnt be bothered with some 'episodes' or that less effort went in as its only a 'web-comic.' some nice panels and splash pages in the Kirby style, with suitable level of madness but it doesnt always work so well.
