Great story and a helluva read! Make sure you put this on your list. Read Full Review

'Shirtless Bear Fighter' is ridiculously awesome and unabashedly silly. Call it a parody of action comics that take themselves way too seriously or an homage to movie hero tropes but either way this is an irresistibly good time. Sit back, relax and watch Shirtless fistfight bears, eat flapjacks, fly his bear-plane, and kick ass while completely butt-naked. It's the conspiracy comedy action thriller with rampaging bears and a burly man with a pixelated wanker you didn't know you needed.  Read Full Review

The bottom line is that if you find the idea of a brawny naked guy fighting bears funny, know that the only proper topping for a flapjack (don't you DARE call it a pancake) is 100% pure maple syrup, and like your humor when it crosses over into the absurd, then you should be talking to your local comic shop and asking them to pre-order Shirtless Bear Fighter #1 for you. FOC is May 29th. Previews order codes are APR170718 & APR170719, and the comic will be in your shop in June. I think you'll be glad you did. Shirtless Bear Fighter is hilarious, if you like that sort of thing! Now I'm going to go and read my review copies again… Read Full Review

For quite a while, Image have been putting out books that eschews the original superhero ideals of the founders of the company. This is massive credit to Image, who have managed to carve out a niche for their books, most of which I recognise as high quality even if I don't always enjoy the stories. With Shirtless, Image have caught my attention with their pastiche of all that has gone before. Read Full Review

This book has all the potential in the world. There is absolutely nothing standing in the way of this energetic new series and the equally energetic team behind it. I look forward to seeing the world of Shirtless Bear-Fighter! broaden its ursine horizons. Read Full Review

A naked wild man, evil bears, government agents, and a plot to take over the world. Oh, and flapjacks. Welcome to the insanity that is SHIRTLESS BEAR FIGHTER #1. It's glorious. Read Full Review

We need more comics like this one. I loved everything about this book. It's a complete parody of what superhero comics are but done in such a smart, witty and over the top way. Also who doesn't love a good repeatable dick joke!? Even while being a parody the feels are still brought in a strong and intense way that you really feel for Shirtless. Many times a comic that is mostly based around over the top humor, can be really forgettable. That's not the case here at all. We have a well crafted engaging story with some great stylized art that also manages to make you laugh. This is just for the adults but still trust me you wanna read this book. Read Full Review

Strong artwork and campy takes on classic tropes make this debut issue a romp to remember. Read Full Review

Basically, if your Image reading list has a Luther Strode-sized hole in it right now, Shirtless Bear-Fighter is the comic for you. Read Full Review

Shirtless Bear-Fighter is a home run for me. It hits all the right silly notes, not taking itself too seriously. I can't say this a concept I ever would have thought would exist as a comic book, but I sure am glad it does. Count me in for more bear-planes and issue #2. Read Full Review

Would I say this book is fun? Does a Bear-Fighter poop in the forest?! If you're a reader that likes their action big and not taking itself too seriously, you'll love this! I'd bet my shirt on that. Read Full Review

Do not let the silly premise fool you, this book has tremendous pacing and action sequences that really make you believe in Shirtless. The hits are made more intense with "Bear Punch!" written next to them, which just proves that this team had as much fun making this as the readers will reading it. Read Full Review

It was such a fun read, the story is super ridiculous at times but that just makes it so much funnier to read and made me not want to put it down! all around a very fun read and I can not wait to read more! The art is very well done, it is a funny story, and I really love the story so much! Read Full Review

Bear puns and beatdowns, all wrapped in a nudist lumberjack aesthetic " granted, Shirtless does don pants by the end " that's the currency being traded here. Straight-forward in internal logic and ridiculous in execution, it's bloody amazing. Read Full Review

A fun trip through the forest with the manly new hero our country so sorely needs. Read Full Review

All around Shirtless Bear Fighter is exactly what it says it is, a story about a man who does not wear a shirt and fights bears. It is a funny concept and the creative actually puts a little story behind it to keep the reader's attention and to drive onto the next issue. The only real problem with a series like this is how long does it stay funny? Read Full Review

The only thing that worries me is that Image's audience doesn't seem to gravitate towards comics of the comedy genre. Which is a shame because it seems like a great fit for the publisher that publishes everything. Personally, I would love to see more genuinely funny comic books. They're so rare that I could write you a list of the other titles I've read this year and it wouldn't be worth posting. If like me you enjoy a funny story and sure it's not one that will make you gut laugh, but instead, put you in a great mood and leave a smile on your face, then you should give Shirtless Bear-Fighter a chance.

The real question, of course, is whether or not this creative team can sustain this pastiche of '80s action tropes without beating a dead horse (or in this case, bear). But as far as debuts go, Shirtless Bear Fighter winds up being worth its weight in maple syrup and flapjacks. Read Full Review

So I'm going to try and stop laughing just long enough to write a review on this magnificent book! I really don't know what else to say about the book that the title hasn't already said. Its a man who is shirtless (pant less as well for most of the comic) who fights bears! What follows in this story is some of the funniest panels I've ever seen in comics. If you think the title is absurd you haven't seen anything yet. There are such great gags in this book and they all flow into one another perfectly. I was laughing so hard I started crying in my cubicle! Yes this book is that funny/good. The story is actually has some mystery in it and for the crazy premise is extremely well written. The art is colorful and vibrant reminds me of a Saturday morning cartoon and fist the story extremely well. I am a sucker for these insane comedy books (Grizzly Shark is one of my all time favorite comics) so I might be a little bias here. But this is a fantastic work that really captures how fun comics can be! Do your self a favor and pick this up as soon as you can! You wont regret it!! more

Comedy GOLD! Be sure to pick this up next week. We promise you'll love it.

Superbly done. I'm in

Pure hilarity! For the records though, everyone knows they're called PANCAKES!
