This was a lot of fun to read.
A fun, action-oriented comic geared towards superhero fans who want a little something different. The main character Duncan was part of an experiment called the Triplet Project that trained assassins with three separate personalities, each with their own unique skill set. Things go haywire and Duncan is tasked with hunting down all the other Triplets that have gone rogue. It's a nice balance of wacky humor with bloody action, without going too zany like the Merc with the Mouth does. I don't know...
Loved it. Wacky story. Snarky humor. Cool artwork. Not for everybody, but for my money a lot of fun. Movie in development with Chris Pratt as Duncan, and Pryanka Chopra (Mrs. Nick Jonas) as perhaps Grear. Screenplay by the screenwriters of Deadpool. So yeh, that kinda book. On my buy, borrow, skip scale--I own two copies.
What. The. Fuck.Is there indeed a market for shitty faux-edgy 'quirky' spy/crime with artwork so hip it's impossible to actually gauge what's going on?Apparently so. All the worst elements of THE LOSERS/THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY/Garth Ennis (real & imitated) all rolled into a perfect turd.
Hilarious, action packed, great characters.
I liked the premise -- taking mentally ill multiple-personality-disorder patients and honing their different personalities to create covert government killing machines -- more than the execution. It was hard to follow, as the story was convoluted and non-linear, and the artwork made it difficult to discern some characters from others. The overly ambitious one-color high art approach didn't help the cause any, either. Nor having 14 separate characters who each had three distinct personalities, pl...
This is one of those books that nobody has heard of, but this is definitely a hidden gem. How often do you get to read about an assassin with a triple schizophrenic personality disorder?! A Viking, ninja and a cowboy assassin! Brilliant book with a giant story of betrayal. A must read.
Duncan suffers from multiple personality disorder. Within his psyche rests four distinct individuals: a cowboy, a ninja, and a viking with Duncan functioning as the ringleader. Lieberman and Rossmo use this high concept as the centerpiece for their fun, conspiracy-laden adventure story. A failed super soldier experiment created an army of Triplets, people with three personalities all with different extraordinary abilities. Rumored destroyed by the government, Triplets re-appear, led by one of th...
There are a lot of main characters in comics who become 'heroes' despite their disabilities. But often these are physical disabilities, blindness, missing a limb, ect. But this hero's disability is a mental one, a multiple personality disorder. And unlike most heroes, who go on to do great things despite their disabilities, Duncan is a hero BECAUSE of his disability, which I find extremely interesting and something not often tackled. I also like how the different personalities are handled when t...
I'm giving points for an interesting, ambitious concept, because the execution didn't really work for me. The idea of people with strong alternate personalities being trained to take on the skills those personalities theoretically had is interesting. And the top secret agency trappings work. But something about the way it was written just threw me off. It takes a little practice to get the hang of reading those alternate personalities as written, and for me it just didn't pay off. Still a good i...
A quirky, hip, and kinetic comic about about an experimental psychological program that transforms people suffering from multiple personality disorder into assassins, training each personality to have unique combat skills. The main character, Duncan, has three unique personalities: a (yes) cowboy, ninja, and viking. The plot is fast paced, the characters unusual, and the artwork (evocative of some of Bill Sienkiewicz's early 80's Moon Knight work) perfectly matches the fractured pyschological st...
From the title you'd expect something juvenile but that's not what Lieberman and Rossmo deliver. It's something much better. The storyline is on par with a typical thriller or summer blockbuster (in a good way) with the twist of a cadre of assassins with multiple personalities. I'll admit I checked this out mostly for Riley Rossmo's art and he does not disappoint. If nothing else the book looks amazing.
I just couldn't get into it, the plot was ridiculous and just wasn't interesting.
Genius!
One of the most imaginative, interesting, graphic novels I've read in years, and I've read a lot! The art is also simple, but the way they digitally colored it really amazed me. Top notch, no doubt, the whole thing.
Secret opps operatives with interesting psychological problems – quite engagingThe basis of the storyline in this comic collection is that the main protagonists “house” three multiple personalities with different skills. The stories then show how they are used in secret opps and come into conflict with one another. There's plenty of sexual references as well as a plethora of bloodshed and bodies.The illustrations are sometimes hard to follow as they are line drawings with some colour thrown in.
Mushy plot and predictable character development, all while taking a gawky, stereotyped tour through a timid perspective on mental health. A good summary would be: multiple personalities makes you more competent plus you get to spew predictable banter with yourself!
Eh, this was okay. Nothing to write home about but action filled story. Interesting premise. Ill at least read volume 2 since I own it but nothing amazing.
A bit confusing, but with diligence coherence is reached. The idea that people with multiple personality disorder could be harnessed as weapons of war is a great one. What is exactly not explored is how these personalities came to be, whether these were intrinsic to each character, but I imagine most questions will be explained away in subsequent sequels. I loved how they identified who was the speaker by inserting an outline of each character's defining trait in the speaking balloon. Ninja knif...
