I want a Cowboy Ninja Viking movie, god dammit! I’ve written about it too much here on the site for it to not apparate into our reality. Well, it appears more and more like it’s actually going to happen. The latest sign? The movie has signed the fantastic-as-fuck Michelle MacLaren to direct.

I’ve been writing about the Chris Pratt/Cowboy Ninja Viking project for a while, with my apex-boner arriving back in the day when the John Wick directors were attached. They ain’t anymore, unfortunately, but now at least the movie has a release date. And! Back in the day, it had a script by the Deadpool dudes. Is that script still being used? I ain’t got a fucking clue. So, pending script and director, I’m cautiously optimistic about this adaptation of a comic series I damn enjoyed.

Chris Pratt has said that the Cowboy Ninja Viking movie is not dead. Which is great, because the comic book series about multiple-personality murderous assassins was hilarious and fucking gorgeous.

How can you get me more stoked about the Cowboy Ninja Viking adaptation? More stoked than having my binky actor in the running for the lead? Bring in the directors of last year’s (maybe) best action flick.

Cowboy Ninja Viking was the short-lived but utterly fantastic comic by A.J. Lieberman and Riley Rossmo. Goddamn insane, with hypertextual, ultra-violence madness, it centered on a squad of assassins, spies, and killers with multiple personality disorders. Pratt is playing the lead Duncan, who yes, is a fucking Cowboy, Ninja, and Viking.

I loved the shit out of A.J. Lieberman’s Cowboy Ninja Viking. In fact, I wasn’t even aware it was cancelled for a good amount of time, and when I found out I was so incensed I was forced to eat my trades of the comic and harvest its soul. Speaking of Harvest, it is also the title of Lieberman’s next work at Image. Oh shit segue, son!

I’ve got a lot of love for the comic Cowboy Ninja Viking  by AJ Lieberman and Riley Rossmo. It’s hilarious, psychotic, and gorgeous to behold. Pure kinetic madness. However it was canceled far too soon, and so I’ve sort of forgotten about it or its upcoming movie adaptation.

Brain! Meet remembrance.

[images & words is the comic book pick-of-the-week at OL. equal parts review and diatribe, the post highlights the most memorable/infuriating/entertaining book released that wednesday]

Just look at the title of this comic book – COWBOY NINJA VIKING.

Now try to convince me that you’re not interested. What’s that, you say it’s impossible? That’s right. Cowboys, ninjas, and vikings are all bad-ass in their own right and an unholy alliance of the three is nearly flabbergasting. In fact, I’m pretty sure that combining such potent staples of fiction is still illegal in the more fearful states of our union.

But I’m a bit of a narrative daredevil. As such, I look forward to partying with the COWBOY NINJA VIKING.

Spoilers Ahead. Forreal.

Admittedly, I’m not 100% comfortable with this week’s featured comic book. Most of the time, Images & Words showcases a comic that I could actually describe to another nerd. Yeah, the standard fare’s something along the lines of “In this book Superman fights the bad guys, saves Metropolis, and still manages to meet Lois for dinner.”

But this time around, I’m not quite sure what the hell is going on. I know that there is hilarious dialogue. The characters seem authentic and relatable. There are some bad ass fight scenes. And the art is just goddamn gorgeous.

So without knowing exactly what I’m getting into, the comic of the week is COWBOY NINJA VIKING #5!
