Punks #1 is a great jumping off point for a weirdly great comic. Read Full Review

Those familiar with the original series will find lots to love here, while those who only know Fialkov's more serious work will be baffled, but highly amused. Read Full Review

Punks: The Comic relentlessly mocks itself and everything around it. It's nihilistic, but in a way that bears more resemblance to the punks in The Big Lebowski than A Clockwork Orange. It puts on a face of apathy in order to mask the desires and concerns of its creators. Fialkov and Chamberlain have created a comic that doesn't seem care, even when it has something worthwhile to impart. Read Full Review

Despite being completely ridiculous and a lot of fun, Punks is, above all, smart. A triumphant and hilarious return that will leave readers dying for the next issue. Read Full Review

This is a bizarre but very amusing book. Like the similarly bizarre God Hates Astronauts, this series threatens to wear out its welcome at times. But the way Fialkov divides the story helps keep the humor fresh for a bit longer. Read Full Review

It is important to recognize that, as much as this book is informal and unapologetic, that it is not without an intelligent approach. Sure, anyone can cut together images and throw crude dialogue on the page and call it a rebellious publication. Likely though, it isnt going to work as well as this does. Punks: The Comic is a great return to the books origins and, for new readers, an introduction into a hilarious and rude world. Read Full Review

PUNKS is something hard to wrap your head around because it's so different from everything else on the shelves. The book is a bit silly but a lot of fun. The biggest thing holding the issue back is that it's not an atypical comic and that may turn people off to it. However, the sense of humor, the weirdness, and the overall concept are pretty fantastic, and if you're looking for something different, you should check this book out. Read Full Review

This has the humour and feel of a Young Ones episode, mixed with the Xeroxed aesthetics of a punk 'zine and the animations of Terry Gilliam. It's crazy stuff, crammed with knowing humour and a bazillion pop culture references. If the cover appeals to you, the innards will also. Punks: The Comic is heaps of fun. Read Full Review

The beauty of Punks is that it doesn't take itself seriously. There's a story called "Depression" with a very quick reference to Morrissey, because of course there is. At one point, Abraham Lincoln straight-up tells the reader that the next story will be split in two just so that they have to buy the second issue, a hilarious nod to the way comics are traditionally formatted - and this one is clearly anything but. Image Comics has always been standing in front of the rest of the comic book industry shouting "Let creators do what they want and it'll work out." Punks is an obvious testament to that.

"Punks" is like no other comic on the stands, and whether that fact sounds appealing or repulsive will determine how you feel about it. The book is not illustrated in a traditional way " Chamberlain makes the book like he was making a 'zine " photocopies, X-acto knives, scotch tape, more photocopies. Because of that aesthetic, the book reads quite differently than any other comic you'll pick up this week. Read Full Review

Undoubtedly, Fialkov and Chamberlain are vastly creative; they created a fascinating world. Punks is refreshing, in that it does not take itself seriously. It is not a groundbreaking comic book nor is it memorable. Nonetheless, it serves its purpose. Read Full Review

"Punks" is a sandbox in which its creators can play and get dirty in any way they see fit. It's comics for release, not looking to convey any type of message or do anything more than to simply entertain with words and pictures. It's a silly ride in the moment that is over the moment the back cover is closed. Read Full Review

I'm not sure whether I can recommend Punks: The Comics #1. It isn't about anything, and story is almost nonexistent. I know I enjoyed most of the book but it's so off the wall bizarre I don't know who it's aiming for. Clearly Fialkov and Chamberlain are loving every minute of its creation, but it reads like a fever dream. It's like nothing on the stands that's for sure, and Image is the perfect home for it. If you like weird humor and spot it on the racks, flip through it. If you're the right kind of crazy you'll be in for a treat. Read Full Review

Im still unsure of whether or not this is supposed to be one cohesive story or mini stories within one book. I read through this issue several times and I still have very little idea of whats going on. I think its safe to say I wont continue reading this book. Who would I even recommend this too? Really, the only reason for anyone to pick up this book is for the novelty aspect of it. People will pick it up because of the names attached or because its something different. Nothing about this book screams “punk” to me. I feel like the characters could be any group of male friends, regardless of the counter-culture they may or may not belong too. Read Full Review
