>MILWAUKIE, Ore., (March 5, 2024)—Geof Darrow’s highly praised Shaolin Cowboy: Cruel to Be Kin series will be presented in a new oversized edition perfect for admirers of Darrow’s incredibly detailed artwork. The Shaolin Cowboy: Cruel to Be Kin—Silent but Deadly Edition is set to arrive in Fall 2024. The Silent but Deadly Edition presents Darrow’s art and Dave Stewart’s coloring without lettering.
>If a picture is worth a thousand words, then more than 205 pages of the stupendous and technicolor art of Dave Stewart and the dubious letterless box drawings of Geof Darrow must be worth at least…well…you do the math. But that’s what you are going to get when Dark Horse presents the king-size SILENT BUT DEADLY edition of the The Shaolin Cowboy epic “CRUEL TO BE KIN.” No words to slow you down, no philosophy to burden your tic-tocked brain—just pure unadulterated and uncensored, pedal to the metal, full color, kung fu, six gun, barn-burning action as only Stewart and Darrow can deliver. No valium nor Xanax can help you with this pulse-pounding tome. If you think you know the whole story you don’t! So light a match and crack open the window of your imagination and take a deep breath of the CRUEL TO BE KIN SILENT BUT DEADLY edition!!! Geof Said Non-Believer!
>Shaolin Cowboy: Cruel to Be Kin—Silent but Deadly Edition (240 pages, 8”x12”) collects Shaolin Cowboy: Cruel to Be Kin #1-7 without lettering and arrives in bookstores on September 17, 2024 and in comic shops September 18, 2024 >The SCU is “ACTION PACKED!!”
Any good?
I never read it, I never found its rips on WinO
Just look at all the god damn detail.
If you want a comic book with actual good art and not just weekly Big Two capeshit slop, this book is for you.
yeah Darrow is masterclass
>detail makes me cream myself
This is the type of autism that has people referring to DWJ as anything but dogshit. The perspective on that tent in each of the panels is fricking terrible. Adding lineslineslines doesn’t change shit like that. Nor the fact that the car has zero momentum panel to panel given the lazy ass layout and the non-linear perspective shifts panel to label. The perspective/angle in panel 3 should be swapped with the perspective in panel 2 in order to aid in movement.
This is why I get so sick of morons placing their preferences above genuine knowledge of the medium.

First off learn to green text shill, secondly all of this sounds like self-indulgent shit only a manchild would enjoy. Completely weightless and worthless. No wonder he can release a version with no text, there’s little worth to the story to begin with.
Panel to panel*
Keked. You really don't have an inkling about how art works.
>I won’t refute you’ll I’ll just attack you
I accept your concession
I'd refute you if you had a point, but you don't. You don't even know how it functions, and I'm not about to teach you either. Have your concession if it pleases you, but you'll remain clueless.
>I'd refute you if you had a point, but you don't
Not that anon but they made two very clear and simple points.
>The perspective on that tent in each of the panels is fricking terrible.
>the car has zero momentum panel to panel given the lazy ass layout and the non-linear perspective shifts panel to label. The perspective/angle in panel 3 should be swapped with the perspective in panel 2 in order to aid in movement.
Why just melt down and act like their post disappeared like a Snapchat video? It’s right there.
>Not that anon
I totally believe you.
I’m not really concerned what you believe tbh you have the disposition of a toddler.
You gave yourself away in the other post. No, I'm not going to give you pointers and you're not ready to have a discussion.
>you're not ready to have a discussion
Ironic given you’ve gone from melting down on anon to claiming I’m them and haven’t discussed anything about the comic.
That's not ironic. I'm withholding my side of the discussion on purpose. And why are you still pretending that isn't you? It's so obviously you.
That wasn't me.
>I'm withholding my side of the discussion on purpose
Genuine question, why?
>hop off the can and leave the bathroom
>go into a meeting
>come back cause I’m bored now
>anon is still melting down.
My acceptance of your concession still stands, schizo
You don't liked it
OK
>No wonder he can release a version with no text, there’s little worth to the story to begin with.
>NO WORDS BAD
Only the highest tier of comics are those who work without any text.
Comics see their inception have been the combination of words and graphics. This is Reddit tier autism perpetuated by homosexuals who seem to think words are bad for some reason. Likely because they’re dyslexic and see comics as being made for them.
lol what a moron.
>IP didn’t change
>he went from claiming I was a samegay to being a samegay
SAD
your post is basically pic related.
Detail is all it has going for it.
Cinemaphile ate my last post, but to repeat, this book has shit like
- first issue ends with a 10 page long spread of people who want to beat up the protagonist
- a fight with a flying shark inside the shit-sewer bowels of pic related, where they also find an aztec city of the undead
- 60+ page long fight scene with the protagonist using a Bo staff with chainsaws tied to each end to chop up zombies
- fighting a giant talking pig who can do kung fu and has katanas tied to its teats
- being chased by a car full of skeletons with uzis shooting at you
- a crab who mind controls people by sitting on their heads and wants his gang to kill the protagonist
and that's just what I remember from the top of my head, this series is fricking insane.
I fricking love Darrows art, but to be honest? Im kinda tired of the Shaolin Cowboy series. I mean hes been workin on that title for 20 (TWENTY!!!) years now. It becomes pretty repetitive. I would rather see him do other projects where he could showcase his talent.
I'd rather he work with a writer that really challenged him and brought out his best. Hard Boiled is still my favorite work of his aside from City of Fire with Moebius.
never heard of this but I think I'll check it out, thanks OP
