Cowboy Ninja Viking Hardcover

Nothing strikes fear quite like the trinity that is a cowboy, ninja and viking. Except for maybe when the trinity is actually just one entity. Cowboy Ninja Viking is about one such entity, and the first five issues will be made available in hardcover formthis month.

Written by AJ Liberman (illustrated by Riley Rossmo), the $16.99, 160-page, full-color story collects the first five issues and also has 30 pages of new material. What's in the new material? Original pitch for the book, script for an alternate version, unused cover art and pinups by Nathan Fox, Dean Trippe and Christian Ward.

Lieberman promises, "If ever there was time a reader who has been debating whether or not to jump on the bandwagon of insanity and mayhem that is Cowboy Ninja Viking, the time to leap has come with the release of our first TPB collecting issues #1-5 (plus 30 pages of extras) all for $16.99! Still not sure? We'll toss in a free index!"

Full press release after the jump.
