I was/am a huge Repo Man fan and was thrilled to discover this book.
Not exactly what I expected, but I really enjoyed how Alex Cox re-considered these characters.
It looks great too, kind of important in a graphic novel.

Alex Cox lets his imagination run wild with this four-color sequel to the film Repo Man. The main character's name changes at the beginning of the book, and a few characters from the film make cameo appearances. Waldo deals as well as he can with life in the '90s, but he never makes it to Hawaii. It's a graphic novel, but the adult themes and occasional nudity make the book unsuitable for children.

Ohay, i really do believe that you will enjoy this, anyone who loved those 80's cult classics should, even more the better if you happen to adore art.

Repo man was great, and it is amazing to see such a great sequel that's been 20'ish years waiting ;)

While I was intrigued to read a graphic novel that was supposedly a sequel to Repo Man after spending 5 minutes with this publication I was not sure how it even remotely related to the original film. I wonder if Alex Cox even knows his own film. It's no wonder no one made this into a film. None of the characters have the same names. And no one even looks remotely like themselves. Art is decent, story is a bit incoherent. All in all a failure.
