The Guandong Factory isn't like other restaurants. It's five stories tall, produces more peach dumplings per day than most eateries do in a decade, and it's the home of Sharknife - a mystical protector charged with protecting the establishment from those who would do it harm! But who is this mysterious yet colorful being? Once just a simple busboy, now Caesar Ives is something more - a crazy red rocket hero destined for greatness! But can Caesar juggle both lives - nabbing the girl (the super-sexy Chieko Plumbheart) and stopping the wide assortment of bizarre baddies that would love to do his precious eatery harm?

Funny as Hell. The kinda comic I wanna DO!,
By
This review is from: Sharknife Volume 1 (Paperback)
I picked up Sharknife on a whim unsure of whether I wanted to drop ten bucks for it or not....but I decided to go for it after I read a few pages and laughed outright! Corey's artwork is also very alive and fluid, and it embodies everything I had hoped to achieve with my own style (mixing manga, graf, and action). The characters in shark are hilarious, and one feels as if they're watching an anime while reading the book. It's a short read, but trust me, if it doesn't earn it's $10 price tag with cool points alone, then nothing will. It's the Pulp Fiction of manga esque titles! I'm really glad I picked this one up. If you've ever seen FLCL and like the art of the Gorillaz, give shark knife a try. I cant wait till volume 2 comes out, it's made a fan out of me. Hell, I'm even downloading the songs from Guan Gong's jukebox!. Why September?

All style, no substance,
This review is from: Sharknife Volume 1 (Paperback)
If all you want out of a comic is 200 pages of fight scenes, then by all means pick up this book. The artwork is fantastic, but I also like having a bit of story to back up good artwork.

A Hurricane kick to your EYES!,
By Sean Poppe (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sharknife Volume 1 (Paperback)
I have to admit, I have a huge bias and love for anything Corey Lewis touches. His graphic, street art style mixed with video game splash and graffiti attitude just hits all the right pressure points to make my heart explode with joy.
Sharknife Volume 1 is by far one of best showcases of his work. It's fast, loud, and full of heart. You can tell that the pen scrawling this work loves what it's laying down. If I had one complaint, which I do and it's why I'm putting it down, is that there is often to much going on, and the flow can get confusing, and important details can get lost in the shuffle. But to those of us who are perpetually ten year old boys frothing at the mouth for that six month Dragonball Z fight, do yourself a solid and read Sharknife.
