5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, Disturbing, Original Stuff, January 15, 2008
By 
This review is from: Ninja (Hardcover)
I've been following Brian Chippendale's musical career for several years now, and I'm a big fan of his work, especially with Mindflayer and his Black Pus projects. When I saw this book, I thought I'd check it out, and I'm glad I did. I wasn't sure what to expect, but he's really impressed me with the utter strangeness of Ninja. The first part of the book mixes dense, rather mysterious little stories of the title character with what appear to be Ninja cartoons he did around the 5th grade. It sounds odd, and it is, but it works. Then the book shifts gears and the Ninja disappears completely. The second half of the book takes place in the crumbling town of Grain, which is undergoing upheaval at the hands of corrupt politicians, sadistic thugs, greedy land developers, and inter-dimensional beings. I can't exactly explain what happens, but it's the kind of story that is both incoherent and totally absorbing. His drawing style is messy but extremely intricate, much like the story itself. And don't let the happy cover fool you - it's dark and scary stuff, with more than a little sex and violence. I am always on the lookout for something really original and imaginative, and this book fits both those criteria. Highly recommended.
