    Say it with me, "Cowboy Ninja Viking."  At first, it seemed like a crazy combination.  I had no idea how you could possibly fit the three together into one character.  Check out the video review to see how it all works.
     

      
    I really dug this comic.  It is something different.  Sure there might be that tiny little comparison I mentioned but this clearly is something different.  I like what AJ Lieberman and Riley Rossmo are doing here.  It's no wonder that Image decided to change this from a mini-series to an ongoing series.  After reading this issue, yes I definitely want more.
     
    Lieberman should have a field day with the combination of three different personalities.  I do wonder who these three were chosen.  The idea that there are several other members of the Triplets running around practically guarantees a good time.  Rossmo's art is something to be seen.  It really captures the mood of the characters.  Throw in those splashes of blue and it's really a trippy experience.
     
    Bottom line it was a fun comic.  Not fun in a way that kids will enjoy it.  It has its mature elements to it.  What we have here is a new 'world' of characters where you don't need to worry about years of continuity for the existing characters.  We have a new series here that you should check out right away to be on board from the beginning.  I do feel it will sell out.

    I'm definitely getting this, but I can't go to my comic book store until Saturday so I might call today and have them put this issue in my pull list.

    I grabbed this yesterday, loved it.  It was delayed a week at my store for some reason.  They only got one copy of the issue last week and one of my boys picked it up.  I asked him about it a few days ago and he said it sucked.  I read it and thought to myself, "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!"  It was awesome.  I love the format.  Can't wait to see where this story goes.

    I sent my mate to pick this up for me.  Although he failed to get God Machine, he did manage to grab this.  I can't wait to see him, just so I can read it :) 
     
    I've noticed with the next few issues, the covers have different background colours.  I'm wondering if the black, white & blue will substitute the blue for oranges & other colours... guess we'll have to wait & see.

    I bought it, and I liked it!! It was fun, but the only problem I had with it was that it was a little confusing... There wasn't time spent on the back story and because of that it was a little hard to follow... Like I told  @Man of Lengend: Its like watching Quantum of Solace without seeing Casino Royale first; Its still Good, but you have no clue what's going on!! LOL

    I was highly anticipating this book and it delivered.  AJ and Riley (artist for another great Image Comics book... PROOF) did a great job and I am excited it got moved to an ongoing series.   There is so much potential with this book and the concept is one where you say "I wish I would have thought of that".  
     
    Agree with the 5 out of 5

    I just read it and loved it. There was one thing that troubled me though, I'm on three of the same medications as him... he's very messed up which kind of makes me question where I'm at lol.

    Just read it and think its great.  Curious to see the next issue.  I love the writing style and all the references to modern day pop culture.  The list of mind altering psychphamacologicals are excellent, and remind me of reading David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest

    I picked this up last week as well. I enjoyed the first issue and I'm hoping that changing it from a limited series to an on-going series doesn't diminish or stretch out the storylines too much. I think this is an interesting and fun read. 
     
    I agree with the others that it jumps a bit too far into the story without a lot of background. Maybe we'll start to see more background information as flashbacks in the future issues. I'm also still a bit confused on what makes CNV character different from the others? They mentioned he was the only one who completed the treatments or whatever, so did the other fail the treatments? Is he the only one with 3 simultaneous voices and the others are just multiple personalities (but just 1 at a time)?
