Luther Strode: The Complete Series
by Justin Jordan, Tradd Moore, Felipe Sobreiro
Well you take a little bit of dbz, and you put a lot of gore and violence, and a ton shit of cursing and you get Luther Strode.
One day a boy decides he has had enough. No more being a puny little punk who can't pick up a chick or fight worth shit. He reads a book, and he becomes...A SUPER SAIYAN WARRIOR. No really, he becomes jacked as fuck and is able to take bullets in the chest and walk away. This series of stories is basically 3 parts. First being his origin of Luther Strode, next the middle adventure of him deciding who he is the myth or the man, and the final one being his journey to peace. By the end of this bloody adventure will Luther be a new man or will he be the killing machine the magical book has made him?
Good: The art is pretty solid. Sometimes the faces and such look really bad but the fight scenes have some excellent scale. Showing off whole city blocks or buildings getting destroyed is a real treat. Some of the dialog while bad (I'll get to that) is mostly fun and easy to read through. Also the themes of moving on and becoming one with yourself is solid enough.
Bad: Some of the dialog is awful. Mostly coming from Luther's girlfriend. Little to try-hard on the funnies. Also the story is just simple. Kill, kill, and...oh yeah kill more. Luther I never felt was in any danger after volume 1. He just simply became so strong it was kind of like "Cool fightscene" but no stakes. Also the ending was kind of rushed and didn't feel the greatest conclusion to a over 300+ page story.
Overall this isn't bad. It's fun, bloody, and insane fight scenes. I'd probably rate the first story around a 3.5 with part 2 being 3, and part 3 being 2.5. So overall a 3 for the whole story.
