KING ME!, Jan 6 2009
By Samax Randolph "ghettoManga.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: King City 1 (Paperback)
i just finished reading King City by Brandon Graham... holy crap! this book is the joint! Joe is a Cat Master, like a Green Lantern, except instead of a power ring, he wields a cat that can manifest multiple different powers depending on the injections he gives it. although well-trained, Joe is a listless thief (a cat burglar, if you will) and drifter until he gets caught up in some drama and it gets real!
Masterfully crafted by do-it-all creative monster Brandon Graham (Multiple Warhedz, Escalator), one of those guys who combine manga storytelling techniques with urban style and humor. Although he does include some serious situations, Graham never strays too far from the fun, wittiness that many comics lack!

Excellent madness, May 10 2008

I love this book, with its futuristic blend of New York/Seattle into the dangerous, bizarre King City, from Joe's initial injury from a well-placed "snot rocket" through the ex-soldier's struggles with flashbacks of zombie killing, to the dramatic rescue where Joe's training takes over and he attacks with a hot bucket of cat. Joe is so human in the midst of all the peculiarity, even to picking his nose (well that's what got him into trouble in the first place) that you can't help hoping he succeeds in whatever nefarious enterprise he falls into next.

King City by Brandon Graham, Jan 22 2008

King City is an entertaining romp with a unique style that's Blade Runner meets Where's Waldo. Espionage, Action, Adventure, Breakfast, and plenty of funny business. Get one.
