Nature of the Beast: A Graphic Novel by Adam Mansbach
My rating: 4/5 cats
I AM READY FOR MY SHARK-OFF PLEASE!!
in this graphic novel, aliens are planning to destroy earth in order to use it as a sacrifice to their god. earth’s only hope is in single, mortal combat with the aliens’ champion; an entity reported to be too mighty to be defeated by anything on our planet.
but is that true?
either way, the planet gets destroyed, so we might as well pick our pony.
so what follows is an animal face-off:
gator vs. gator
gorilla vs. gorilla
polar bear, lion, rhino, shark rooooaaaarrr!!
and after each victor has slain its opponent, it must fight the winner of a different round: gator vs gorilla etc.
what’s not to love? i used to watch animal face-off on the discovery channel all the time:
http://animal.discovery.com/videos/an…
and it wasn’t a great show, but i loved it; it was the best idea ever for a show. (except maybe… manimal…)
and they sure did love that gimble! the way manimal loved that panther.
but what if the mightiest beast isn’t an animal at all? once aggression-spray is introduced and …man gets a whiff of it…man might be the most dangerous animal of all…
so this book is a great. animal battle royale for the chance to save earth!! is it stupid? sure, yeah, of course! it’s all rarrrr he-man aggression with big boobed ladies and hi-larious bloodspray.
i couldn’t find any cool pictures i could steal for this review, but here is a link to the illustrator’s page, so you can see a bunch of images:
