Five Weapons #5

Five Weapons #5 

Created, written, illustrated, and lettered by Jimmie Robinson

Review
There isn't much that I can say about Five Weapons that doesn't end with this being an awesome book that you must check out.

Jimmie Robinson has outdone himself and created a world that I would be happy to read month in and month out. Thankfully, this limited series is blossoming into an ongoing. Although, I almost wonder how well it will do as an ongoing. I could see five issue chapters per story, but a regular ongoing just doesn't seem like a fit for a book that came with a good premise each issue.

There are twists and turns in this story that continue to delight, but doesn't bring much surprise. Some I expected but I was still plenty entertained throughout.

This book is regarded as an all-ages book, and I gotta say that despite the violence that is in it, there is much to be said about the story showing that there are other was beside violence to resolve conflict. The best thing about the book is that it could easily be translated into a children's movie, and totally work.

The comic shop probably doesn't have all five issues available, so put this on your list of trades to get. This is a comic that would serve as a great introduction to people of all ages as to what can happen in a creator owned book.

Grades

General Feeling After Reading: Belly full of goodness.
