Description: "One day Millennium Boy decided to grab his hobo stick, his bandana, and his Swiss Army knife, bid his mom goodbye, and head off on a quest for adventure. He is soon joined by his best friend Steve (weapon: baseball bat), and the duo find themselves victors in a battle with two other adventure seekers, which automatically upgrades their weaponry (a crowbar and a steel chain are added to their arsenal)-- and on they trek until they meet the next inductee to their group, the muscle-bound Lash Penis. And then things start getting weird. Joe Daly's latest graphic novel mimics the narrative propulsion of a role playing game, and therein lies its-- and its author's-- genius. Our jolly band of ne'er-do-wells journey blithefully along, confronting a series of hilarious but increasingly hostile menaces, accumulating points and weapons, eventually recruiting Nedgirl the Archer, who adds a little female energy to their improvisatory family of happy-go-lucky hooligans"--V. 1, p. [4] of cover.
