Trapped in a warzone, Al Stark has an epiphany: 'Americans are a superstitious and cowardly lot. I shall become a Muslim.' Al, newly inspired, takes his jihad to New York City, and a showdown with a Freedom Fighter who resembles a certain Caped Crusader! Part of The Avengefuls saga, Bleeding Cool's Rich Johnston takes us on a raucous ride through politics, fanaticism, and the healing power of Hollywood.
Bryan Turner's exaggerated, angular art is a nice fit for a satire project such as this one. His artwork here looks a bit like a cross between the styles of Humberto (Amazing Spider-Man) Ramos and Rob (Chew) Guillory. I'm also reminded of the art of Peter Lumby, the artist on a similarly satirical (but not so enjoyable) graphic novel entitled Tozzer and the Invisible Lap Dancers from a decade ago. Turner's work is clear but goofy, and it's so over the top, it signals the exaggerated, lampooning nature of the writing quite clearly. The artist captures Miller's style from Holy Terror quite well, just as he conveys the helmet-cam shots from the Iron Man movies effectively as well. Read Full Review
