IronChuck says: READ THIS!

Welcome back to the irregular installment where I review a comic of personal note I feel you should be reading. I apologize that this section doesn't update as often as I would like. We're working on fixing that. As for now...

Quinn is a goof up pizza delivery guy who has just made a delivery to the wrong address. Krunk is a recently framed and disgraced police officer. They both have one thing in common; the hot thieving space babe Neoki, who is on the run from criminals she was supposed to steal an idol for.

Set in the colorful and humorous world of the far future, Outer Orbit follows the zany adventure of these three misfits as they clash with criminal elements, and each other, outwit card swindling thugs, and go on the lamb from space police. Oh, and then there's that whole incident at the coffee shop, and let's not get started on the space sheep...

Outer Orbit comes to us from the creative team of Zach Howard, Sean Murphy, and Reed Buccholz. Howard and Murphy actually share various writing and art credits through out the book. Colors are handled by the amazing Charlie Kirchoff, with letting by Thompson Knox.

The book starts off pretty much like an origins story, where we follow the main characters as they recount how they met and what had led them to where they are. Once, however, the back story catches up, it's a no hold barred Tour de Force of high paced action and comedy that had my cheeks hurting from laughing so hard.

Though amazingly written and illustrated, I do admit that, at times, the art was just a bit to kinetic, and the disjointed back and forth story telling (Think: Pulp Fiction) sometimes got me a little turned around; usually remedied, though, by a fast reread.

Outer Orbit is published by Dark Horse Comics as a graphic novel retailing for $12.95, and is available at comic book retailers, on line. and finer books stores.
