Plot:

 

Tyler is heading to face down Rick the Stick and beat him. Even if he does beat him, he still has to deal with school staff, who are beginning to get frustrated with him and his refusal to fight or pick a weapon.  Then while all of that is happening, Jade is named Queen of the Annual Spring Festival and is in a tight situation that may involve her having to kiss a real nasty dork from the Archery Club.

 

Our Hero:

 

Oh yeah man, you really put your foot in your mouth this time around.

 

Our Villain:

 

Well if you wear a monocle, you are so obviously evil or a colonel.

 

Our Side Characters:

 

I can’t tell who she’s crushing on her.  Is it Tyler, is it Dennis, or is it both?

 

Action:

 

Today’s action is brought to you by the intensity one can only get with sticks!

 

Dialogue:

 

I’m surprised normal is even a part of her vocabulary.

 

Art:

 

The snake is just as shocked as you girl.

 

Most Memorable Moment:

 

Oh my god, its blonde Mandark from Dexter’s Laboratory.  No!

 

Final Page:

 

This kid is going to grow up to be Batman.  He’s got a plan for everything apparently.

 

What We Should Take from This Comic:

 

In order to win, Tyler is going to have to take took both presidents of the Archery and Exotic Weapons Clubs.  Can he do it and become King of the Annual Spring Festival?

 

What We Do Take From This Comic:

 

So did the nurse and the principal end causing each other’s injury in the past?

 

Yay or Nay?

 

yay

Five Weapons #2 (2013)

Cover:

I’ve never seen a character with such a square head in comics before!

Plot:

Tyler Shainline takes out first club president in this assassin school and scores a new friend.  Still, does he have the smarts to figure out how to defeat the school bullies?

Our Hero:

Hmm… looks like there is much more to him than meets the eye.

Our Villain:

For a guy that gives off the vibe of being nothing but an idiot, he sure is reading a college level.

Our Side Characters:

Who ARE you nurse lady?

Action:

That stick caused an explosion when it the ground.

Dialogue:

When I hear this guy talk, I hear a very ridiculous Jamaican accent.

Art:

Man, it’s not like he’s age at all in five years.

Most Memorable Moment:

Oh come on.  Talking garbage cans can have Muppets in them!

Final Page:

That’s a lot of confidence.  Probably can back it up as well.

What We Should Take from This Comic:

There’s much more to Tyler than meets the eye, especially considering he’s really not who he says he is.  Regardless of that, how much longer can he keep on winning without a weapon in this school?

What We Do Take From This Comic:

Considering the violence in this school, I wonder just how many people visit the nurse’s office?

Yay or Nay?

yay

Five Weapons #1 (2013)

 

Cover:

Man, whoever is trying to kill him off panel has terrible aim.

Plot:

Meet Tyler Shainline; son of two very great assassins.  He is enrolled in a rather unusual school that teaches the kids of hitmen and hitwomen to be the best killers in five different fields/weapons.  However, he holds no real interest fighting and instead prefers to use his mind.

Our Hero:

He’s got the mind of Adrian Monk, but without the fears.

Our Villains:

Not clear yet, but I bet they’ll show soon enough.

Our Side Characters:

I like this nurse, missing nose and all.

Action:

Surprisingly minuscule in this comic.

Dialogue:

Hey, she told them to go play with blades, not guns.  Wrong dangerous weapons kids!

Art:

You know, the servants both have black hair, but their son has blonde.  I wonder…

Most Memorable Moment:

Who the hell are you snake kid?

Final Page:

Oh this smack-down he’s planning is going to be so awesome.

What We Should Take from This Comic:

Tyler is an oddball in this school, especially with his talking and the fact that he has no weapons.  However, it may appear that he won’t be needing them for what he has planned.

What We Do Take From This Comic:

So bandages do not go over the skin, but over the clothing?  This nurse confuses me.

Yay or Nay?

Yay
