Ratfist was a Web Series by Doug TenNapel taken offline and printed in
one handy graphic novel by Image comics. I got my copy through the
amazon link on MajorSpoilers.com and read it in one sitting. Now that
may not be impressive at 158 pages but Ratfist having to drive the
daily online readership and still deliver a compelling story arc
impressed me. The humor is good and the story is well written but
sometimes it felt dated suffering from Mystery Science Theater
syndrome. Just to cut that statement I love MST3k and enjoyed Mike
Nelson’s forward. In fact it was that and Doug TenNapel’s Earthworm
Jim that attracted me to this book. Normally I would say this baited
me in but this title surprises and let me off the hook. It stands
alone and those with at least a couple decades on them will enjoy this
one. I leave the spoilers to the guys but I give Ratfist 4 outta 5.
