Critiquing Comics #131: “Vengeance, NV” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Pizza”

Vengeance, NV - Teenage Mutant Ninja PizzaA woman with glowing eyes enters a home, tells the cat that she’s there with Kristen. A man is dying after a superhero battle; after he’s recognized, he tells an acquaintance “Don’t tell Kristen.” Question: Who is Kristen!? That’s just one of the many things we have trouble figuring out about Vengeance, Nevada, by BJ Mendelson and Piotr Czaplarski.

One thing we had no trouble figuring out: Daniel Arruda Massa and Nick Marino are on a roll. After wowing us with their irreverent but undeniably skillful Holy F*ck and Holy F*cked, they’re back with Teenage Mutant Ninja Pizza, a comic that totally shouldn’t work, but does. Tim and Mulele open the box and dig in.

  1. Thanks for the positive review! I’m happy you too had fun reading it, that’s all we aimed for.

    As for those 20-ish panels; Nick often likes to write small extra stuff into scripts to entertain me, just to get me laughing. In this case I loved the gag so much that I broke it down into a little side story and worked it into the page.
