Who would win in a fight, pirates or ninjas? Since time immemorial, Man has pondered these cosmic questions. Throughout the millennia, these natural enemies have left death and despair in their wake. Now they face each other to battle for supremacy.
So i came in late, but I got Pirates Vs Ninjas II: Up the Ante collected last night (see my toys thread for why). And yes, it's every bit as awesome as you would imagine. There was even, on the back cover, a ninja monkey, fighting a pirate parrot of course. So this is officially made of win. They have one coming out this year covering the great political debate, which I am excited for. Suddenly a comic I want to collect! It's been so long....
Since caveman times, men have debated the issues on all sides. Now, in the most tumultuous election year in history, Pirates and Ninjas will clash in that most savage of blood sports, politics!
the ninjas say things like "My brothers! Strike the annoyed puff adder!" while the pirates reply with "Give 'em what fer, the spotty-faced sneaks."
Ninjas also say:
"Sharp is the beak of the midnight crow!"
"A recalcitrant woodsman faces two fighting bulls."
and my personal favorite:
"Be like the clouded leopard adorned in koala's clothing."
There's actually a plot in here, I think. But who cares, really?

Wow. Words fail. I guess the picture says it all.

i actually finished the graphic novel, which is a collection of the SECOND series. The first series was four issues, and I'm buying it as soon as the check I deposited cleared. But the story gets good. There are VIKINGS too. All they need are cowboys and zombies and it's perfect.
It's also fun that the sexy woman pirate is named "Malaria"
