Rating: Summary: Not so great Kyle Baker. Review: The Cowboy Wally Show was a departure from what I've read from Mr. Baker. Very dry and tounge in cheek humour, which I am usually a fan of, didn't really get me here. The art is up to scratch for Kyle Baker, but the story seemed to plod on for me, with jokes that made me laugh few and far between. If you are at all interested in Mr. Baker's work, I suggest Undercover Genie. Still this book is worth a read, and you will be supporting a very fine talent in our time.
Rating: Summary: Just buy it already Review: This is a funny, funny, book. Cutting social satire at it's peak. I have yet to met anyone who did not think this book was fantastic. Film Producer: Basically, we love the work you guys do and we want another movie from you....We're giving you a buget of 10 million. the thing is, for tax reasons, we need this movie by he end of the fiscal year. Wally: Sure! When's that? Film Producer: Next Friday.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely hysterical Review: This is, beyond a doubt, the single funniest graphic novel ever written. Stop reading this review and buy it. Now.
Rating: Summary: Kyle Baker defines thexpanding frontier of the comics medium Review: While not as accessible as Why I Hate Saturn, The Cowboy Wally Show is wonderful in it's own way, but it's very subtle, and as Spead Seduction Guru, Ross Jefferies, says, "I don't have time for your pathetic subtlety." Actually, I have quite an appetite for subtlety in comics and The Cowboy Wally Show delivers. Cowboy Wally is a media sensation who is part Johnny Carson, part Ed Wood, and part Benny Hill. It took me a while to decide that I liked this book, but by the time Cowboy Wally recounted the story of shooting his version of Hamlet in a jail cell with just himself, his writer, their two thug cell mates and a box of props, I was hooked.
