On the verge of the Cowboy Ninja Viking debut, Image Comics announced yesterday that writer AJ Lieberman and artist Riley Rossmo’s highly anticipated action-packed mini-series with a multiple personality twist will expand to regular ongoing series!
“Even before its release, Cowboy Ninja Viking has seen a reception much like Chew’s explosive launch, making it evident writer AJ Lieberman and artist Riley Rossmo shouldn’t be contained to a mere four issues,” Image Comics Vice President Jim Valentino said. “In a time where it’s very hard to launch an all-new title, the pre-release buzz for this book has been massive. We’re extremely excited to keep it going for a long time coming. Considering we’ve had to already double our print run to meet demand, we think the fans will highly enjoy the now ongoing series.”
Cowboy Ninja Viking is the birth child of Doctor Sebastian Ghislain, a psychotherapist who recruits Multiple Personality Disorder patients to create a unit of counter-intelligence agents called the Triplets. But what happens when those guys become out of control assassins? That’s when the deadliest Triplet of them all, Cowboy Ninja Viking, is called in to take down his own brethren. In order to ensure the timely schedule, the series will ship in monthly arcs with two-month gaps in between each storyline.
Cowboy Ninja Viking #1 just became available as an in-stock product and you can still pick up your copy…but they’re going fast.

Here, Steve and Jeff outline the many dangers of caving, and whether they consider Underground an environmental or adventure tale:

Sometimes you happen upon a new title that at first makes you scoff at the premise. Then, after thinking about it, you just know you’ve got to check it out–if for nothing more than to satisfy your curiosity. That’s why I’m jazzed about Cowboy Ninja Viking, from Image Comics.
Here’s the lowdown: It started with Dr. Sebastian Ghislain: rogue psychotherapist/covert op/DJ. Tasked with creating a counter-intelligence unit, he turned to those long thought useless to society . . . patients with Multiple Personality Disorder.
These agents became known simply as Triplets. Misguided? Yeah. Impractical? Sure. But did it work? Absolutely not.
Now someone has located each Triplet and created a band of ridiculously disturbed, but highly effective, assassins. Our only hope? A Triplet known as Cowboy Ninja Viking!
I’m not sure about you, but they’ve definitely piqued my interest. This could be one of this year’s next big hits, so make sure you pre-order your copy of Cowboy Ninja Viking #1 soon!

Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead comics might be coming to a television screen near you! AMC now has the rights, which means a potential series is in the works. The Oscar-nominated writer-director Frank Darabont (The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption) is at the helm and will also executive produce.
The Walking Dead, which recently made the #1 position in ICv2’s Top Genre Properties list for Q2, focuses on a group of small-town survivors of a widespread zombie outbreak. As the characters struggle to eke out an existence in the face of worldwide zombie domination, some prevail–and some fall.
