Customer Reviews

Not for the kids, but perfect for the Kevin Smith fan
Anyone who feels like comic books are exclusively a medium for children would be more than a little surprised by Kevin Smith's histerical "Bluntman and Chronic" graphic novel. Allegedly by "Holden McNeil and Banky Edwards" (the comic book creators in Kevin Smith's movie "Chasing Amy"), this follows a pair of stoner superheroes based on View Askew stars Jay and Silent Bob.

Kevin Smith fans will enjoy this because of the over-the-top comedy and frequent references to the "Askewniverse." But even the steady comic book fan will split a gut reading this book, because just as "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" made fun of any and all movies, THIS makes fun of any and all comic books, with goofs on Green Lantern, Batman, Spider-Man and even a couple of characters near and dear to Kevin Smith himself -- Daredevil and Green Arrow.

A funny, funny book. Check it out.

The Hemp Knight Returns!!
Finally, the LONG delayed Bluntman & Chronic Graphic Novel!! Was the wait worth it? Oh yea!!

Kevin Smith and Mike Avon Oeming (Under the guise of Banky Edwards and Holden McNeil) deliver big laughs as they tell the origin of the "Queer Duo" and their arch-enemies, whose group name is hilariously unprintable (At least here....). Comic book lovers will especially enjoy the loving jabs Smith takes at the origins of Green Lantern, Spider-Man, Captain America, and Daredevil, among others. The book also includes the hard-to-find story from Oni Double Feature, in color for the first time. All in all, a great book, loaded with laughs. (And MUCH more obscene than you could ever imagine!!)

Gotta love those stoner (...)and fart jokes!!
Okay so it's no William Shakespeare or Alan Moore but it's not suppose to be. Its crude humor at it's best. You really have to be a Kevin Smith fan to enjoy it. The artwork is pretty cool but I would much rather have seen Mike Allred do the book since he did the art in the movie, Chasing Amy. But we are graced with his pop art at the end with the one-shot Smith and Allred did awhile back. The only down side I guess is that it really doesn't take anything serious at all. In Smith's movies we usually get (...)jokes but there is always a serious side to it. But I don't think Smith was trying to do anything other than make us laugh with this book. If you want a serious side of Kevin Smith in comics go read his DareDevil or Green Arrow runs, but if you're looking for some good old fashion stoner, (...)jokes then this is for you. A must own for any Kevin Smith fan.
