Buckaroo Banzai TP Vol 02 No Matter Where You Go Paperback – June 3, 2014

Another madcap excursion into the realm of intrepid inter dimensional explorer, rock star, neurosurgeon, gunslinger, and jet car pilot Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers? Penned by original screenwriter and film director Earl Mac Rauch and W.D. Richter!?!Sign this Blue Blaze Irregular UP!!!If you're like me and you reveled in the 1984 cinematic treasure that was "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension" then you're practically guaranteed to love this second collection of Moonstone Books Banzai offerings. IF ONLY it included a companion CD featuring an updated score from the original film composer Michael Boddicker.

Nice book, good condition

Awesome for Buckaroo Fans

Almost completely unreadable. Given the original writer and director are behind it, a vast disappointment.

If you like Buckaroo Banzai, you'll love this.

This collection captures the conceit of the movie — that we're in the middle of a longer series of adventures about which we know nothing. And the stories in this collection are not contiguous in that series, so characters arrive and disappear without warning. Secrets are revealed without ever having been established as mysteries to begin with. There are some weird editing errors as well — we are told that Buckaroo was "sent by his father to live among the Apaches" years after his father's death. The artwork is spotty, and in some places sufficiently incoherent that the reader can not be sure what is supposed to be happening.

Only a Buckaroo Banzai fan with money to burn could love this. There was no sequel to Through the Eighth Dimension so fans of the cult film are left wishing for more of the Banzai experience. This comic collection gives bits of new material, but in the end, only the satisfaction of the end of a blind alley. There is no more Buckeroo.

This edition is a cheaply cobbled together scan to poor colour laser print on terrible paper. At least it’s bound to a laminate cover, but it even has the chutzpah to include “Printed on 07/2022 in Italia …” with text that basically says “Photocopied!”.Spoke to Amazon who say they’ll remove it from their listings within 72 hours.You have been warned.On the plus side, it does include all of the content described, albeit in very washed out and hazy panels with considerable generational quality loss.It looks like what it is. A cheap amateur photocopy or scan-to-print. I genuinely could do a much better job in the office, so I suppose the trade off is “Is it worth a few quid to save the time and effort of doing it myself?”At a real push, I’d say that if you have no other means to access the content (it’s all available on Kindle / Comixology, and possibly “elsewhere on-line”) then maybe, just maybe, it’s worth £3.00 which is the price I paid (a small fraction of excised soul not withstanding) after accepting a token rebate from Amazon CS.It’s a mildly entertaining keepsake which I personally think is ironically wholly appropriate for a Buckaroo Banzai curio. How meta and “within universe” is having to buy black market Banzai comics, such is their scarcity?!?!The content itself is more Buckaroo. And more Buckaroo is never, and can never be, a bad thing. So, if you can take your Blue Blaze a little on the grainy purple side, go for it. If you’re more the top-button-buttoned type, maybe take a pass and wait for the Fermented Yak Milk to help mellow the harsh.No matter where you go, there will be murky shadows to sidle aside.

El cómic es lo que sabía quera, un despiporre.Pero en el transporte iba tan poco protegido que las esquinas y la contraportada se han doblado y dañado, una pena porque me gusta guardar las cosas en perfecto estado.
