This is a fantastic book. And they haven't missed a beat with their transition over to Dynamite from WildStorm. I could see how the title might not fit in with the WildStorm Universe. But at Dynamite . . it has no restrains. And even though they just got here, it appears that the gloves are off starting with this issue. Two instances in this issue actually stand out to me the most. First is when Hughie and Butcher are in the Tek-Knight's . . . cave . . as it were . . Hughie has to use the Bog, restroom, but can't get access because he doesn't know the security codes. Well since he got the Turtle's head, as he puts it, and can't hold it anymore, he ends up taking a dump right on the floor. Secondly, when the Tek-Knight is telling Butcher a story about Swingwing, he goes back to one of their earlier adventures when they were chasing the Talon. She was always one of those people that swung on both sides of the fence. Sometimes a good girl, sometimes a bad girl. Well a few years ago, she shows up out of the blue. They come back to the Tek-Cave to talk and have some wine. She decides that they should make it a proper reunion and call Swingwing up also. Well one thing leads to another . . and bang . . they're in a three way. While she's blowing Tek-Knight he keeps saying to himself, "Don't look at his face. Don't look at his face." Well of course he does, " . . and it's all downhill from there." I'm telling you . . this is not your fathers comics. Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson are really blowing the lid off of super-hero comics with this series. But that's ok. Sometimes they need to be shaken' up a bit. This series has it all . . a great cast of characters . . a superb writer . . and a fantastic artist. And to top it off, they take a stab at all the super-heroes, and groups, out there. The best part of the series is wondering what they're going to come up with next.
