  Buckaroo Banzai: The Prequel exemplifies a book that has a premise, concepts and characterization that overcome flaws elsewhere. This may not be as well written or as well illustrated when compared to some of the other books I'm reviewing, but it still merits a favorable review because of the things it accomplishes.

  The two-issue series isn't written by WD Richter, although he is the consultant on the story, which makes this issue so much more disappointing. Gaffs in the continuity between this prequel and the movie, events "inspired" by other sources, and heavy handed inking on the art, really bring this issue down. It's true, you can't capture lighting in a bottle twice, and found memories can easily be destroyed by simple mishandling. I had high hopes for this issue, as I'm a super huge fan of all things Buckaroo, but ultimately Buckaroo Banzai: The Prequel #2 only earns 1 Star. Read Full Review
