Summary: Yep, My New Fighting Technique IS Unstoppable
Review: "My New Fighting Technique is Unstoppable" (MNFTIU for short) by David Rees is hilarious. I agree with the other reviewers when they said MNFTIU is senseless however that's the point of the book. It wasn't fashioned to follow the outline of a "normal" book. To understand MNFTIU, you need to know a little bit about the author and his intentions with MNFTIU. David Rees draws clip art comics for Rolling Stones magazine, plays in a band, and works temp jobs where he finds his inspiration for his comics. MNFTIU is based on the clip arts he collected while working at a university community health department. This is where he found Karate Snoopy, Circulatory Man, and the ambulance drivers. The fixation with fighting and technique which is mentioned over and over again is from Rees' fascination with rap music. His characters are like rappers when they freestyle (rap). Rappers battle each other with the skillfulness of their words. The one with the best "fighting technique" emerges victorious. This is a fun book to read if you do so with an open mind. If you're expecting to read it like Calvin & Hobbes or The Peanuts then you'll be disappointed. If you like South Park or even The Simpsons, there's a good chance MNFTIU will appeal to you. You can find samples of Rees' MNFTIU at http://unstoppable.com. He also has other works such as "Get Your War On" which can be viewed at http://www.mnftiu.cc/mnftiu.cc/home.html. All the royalties from this book are donated to the Adopt a Landmine charity dedicated to landmine clearance in Afghanistan. So even if you don't like his comics, you have to appreciate his contributions.

Summary: this book stinks!
Review: Boring, in one simple word. There is no humor to be found in the bland writing and illustrations. I was very disappointed with the entire book. Well, the Title is pretty good, but that is all that it has going for it. Adults who enjoy cartoons and comics will not find this as entertaining, and it definetly has enough vulgar language in it.

Summary: The Title's Funny!
Review: David Rees is a really talented and funny person from what I've come to understand, so it confuses me that he'd waste his time rehashing a book he self-published years ago. This is not worth republishing. It reeks of a temp worker sitting bored at his desk - It's not funny, and Rees is on the verge of exposing himself as a one trick pony if he doesn't put out something new soon! Never fear! I recently read a short story by david in the Politically Inspired Anthology and it was brilliant. David, what do you say you leave the clip art behind and give us something fresh like that? I'm a fan of yours and feel really ripped off by this book.

Summary: This...is Uncomprehendable
Review: David Rees was bored at work. So bored that he occupied his time creating comics from out of PowerPoint using the cheesy clipart graphics. He started faxing those comics to his friends, who, of course, forwarded them to their friends. Those who love "Office Space" can appreciate his ingenuity. His book, "My New Fighting Technique is Unstoppable" (or MNFTIU for those in the know), chronicles the adventures of a group of martial arts fiends -- they can't wait to fight one another -- with strange names and stranger powers. Egging each other on with profane taunts full of teenage bravado, they fight to show each other the inside of ambulances. These comics can't be explained; they are so out-of-this-world, much like Gary Larsen's "Far Side". Knowing that they were made with clipart makes it all the more hilarious.

Summary: Unstoppable humor
Review: David Rees' blend of witty, acerbic, profane humor is brilliant - just read Get Your War on to see that his biting wit is right on and he has some funny stuff to say. Most people with a sense of humor can find the fun in this book - so many great one-liners! If you're a fan of the Onion, the Daily Show, SNL, or anything with an edge of sarcasm, you'll love this. After all, that's what it's all about. I guess the people who don't like it just don't get it.

Summary: Fu Mastah
Review: How in the world did David Rees' Kung Fu get this good? I've read this 16 times and laugh harder with each read. Clip-art has never been this inspired or this a**-kicking.

Summary: If you understand what it is you'll probably love it
Review: I can definatly see where people would be disapointed expecting a comic book with great animation and story. But the author wasn't going for this at all. The images are purposly bad. There is no story. This is a collection of the authors strip first found on the internet. The images are clipart made from an old macintosh program used to "create your own comic book". If you unserstand the author isn't trying to make a work of art and just good laugh at insane humor then you will be pleased.
The humor is definatly insane and off the wall. The fact that he reuses images for completly different scenes, or vise versa reuses dialog with completey different images is just great stuff. You can always check out a handfull of the strips at www.unstoppable.com to see if your humor matches the books. It did for me.

Summary: didn't like it
Review: I really don't like this book. I didn't think it was very funny. Most of it doesn't even make sense. I really can't find anything good to say about it. Sorry...

Summary: This book rocks!
Review: I was reading this on the subway and drinking some Sprite and I laughed so hard that Sprite came out of my nose. That might not have made the other people on the train so happy, but I was too busy laughing to notice. I promise if you read this you'll laugh really really hard, too, but you probably should stay away from carbonated beverages for a while.

Summary: Do your beavis and butthead laugh while reading this
Review: If there ever was a book that defined the cliché, 'You have to see it to believe it,' My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable (MNFTIU) is it. How do you describe comics that have a character called Karate Snoopy (yes, of Peanuts fame), a dude with bricks on his head, a guy that is simply a circulatory system, and someone called 'Normal Man'? Exactly. Ya can't! If you like adult swim on cartoon network, you are going to love, my new fighting technique is unstoppable. Kick your sarcasm into high gear and enjoy a good laugh on me.
