2022 is the year Saga come back. The year that Miracleman will come back. And now the year that Shaolin Cowboy by Geof Darrow will join them, courtesy of Dark Horse Comics. Originally published by the Wachowskis' Burlyman Entertainment, it was reprinted by Dark Horse, but we haven't had new Shaolin for five years. The book is about an unnamed former Shaolin monk who wanders the land with a talking mule named Lord Evelyn Dunkirk Winniferd Esq. the Third. Having been "asked" to leave the Shaolin temple, he has since had a bounty placed on his head, which many are eager to collect. Given the Shaolin Cowboy's prowess in martial arts, however, this will be very difficult. Taking place in an unspecified time setting (as the first issue notes, "the day after yesterday and a week before tomorrow"), the book features extremely detailed artwork and equally violent and absurd action scenes; in one, the main character battles a giant shark with a human head in its mouth using two chainsaws tied on the ends of a long stick – which all takes place in the stomach of a lizard, on whose back a city is located.
