When I first heard about Butcher Baker, Righteous Maker, I was excited. Joe Casey writing a book about a super hero who cares more about getting laid then saving the world sounded ideal to me. I was expecting a silly book, specially with the cover sporting a man wearing what appears to be a very patriotic Thong with a make shift super hero utility belt. What I read was a semi funny Super Hero book, but the bursts of heavy material about a super hero gone wrong I could have done without.
Butcher Baker has “retired” and is living the life of leisure. He has the sex drive of One Hundred Young Men during their first time in a whore house and he has no plans on going back to a government that doesn’t appreciate him. Can a trip from “Dick Cheney” and “Jay Leno” change his mind and convince him to help his nation or will Joe Casey ruin this comedic concept and turn it into something heavy and serious?
After reading the first issue I think the latter is more likely, but I am going to give Butcher Baker another try. Anyone who has the balls to fuck in front of the former Vice President deserves a second chance!
