I am so excited to see Vampblade back this week from the Action Lab-Danger Zone. Issue #5 picks up right where the last one left off with Katie trying to live a normal life but succumbing to the will of the Vampblade. She thought she had destroyed the T.S.D.’s (translucent space dicks) at the source, but that turns out not to be the case at all. While trying to enjoy a nice quiet dinner at Penny’s restaurant our fearless fem-fetale once again suddenly feels the urge to strip down and don the vampblade. This seems to happen automatically when the presence of these parasites are detected. As Katie is slicing and dicing her language becomes somewhat questionable and definitely not suitable for young eyes; she uses the F-bomb quite liberally. I simply adore her dirty sense of humor and adult use of the English language; “face dong” and “space dicks” being two of my favorites. She has to literally dine and dash as she appears to the uninfected as just a crazy girl dressed as a dominatrix wielding a sword and chains.

My favorite part of the whole book happens the next morning back at the comic book shop. Ironically enough it is new comic book day and the two employees are having a heated discussion where one is ranting about women being objectified in comics. So flipping satirical considering we are reading a comic book where the main character frequently goes “full monty” and features big tits and ass. The other little nerd is arguing that comic books can be anything we want them to be, and that is the beauty of the comic book art form. The whole conversation is so hysterical and I can picture this really happening in a shop somewhere. I love how Jason Martin manages to work this little bit into his story so seamlessly.

In the final few pages we see poor Katie locked away in her office trying to deal with the fall out of last nights diner disaster. I found it quite amusing that the sign on her office door reads “Managers Orifice” as the word office is scratched out. She’s watching the news as they talk about all the destruction and mayhem that a “big booty white girl” caused last night. She realizes that like all good superheroes; she will need a disguise to hide her secret identity. Too bad that identity is blown before she has a chance to even contemplate wearing a mask or cape. A giant space robot busts through the front of her shop and declares that it is there to vanquish Vampblade. Guess we will just have to wait till next month to see what happens in issue #6 titled “Mom SpaceKnight Strikes“.

Vampblade #5 is out this week for new comic book day from Action Labs-Danger Zone. I want to give one more warning that while this book is fully awesome sauce, it is for mature readers only. If your not 18 you probably should not be reading this book. With that being said I give this book a total 9 out of 10. It’s funny, dark, wildly inappropriate and worth the read. Pick up you copy of Jason Martin’s Vampblade this week, you won’t regret it!
