    Say it isn't so…but it IS! Nathan T. Rex is back again ready to get his next motion picture going, but he needs some help in the financial department. After the debacle called “President's Day” that he orchestrated amongst an ocean of drugs, perversion, lust, and murder he's black listed from Hollywood, exiled really, and will never make a picture inside that system again. Who cares? He's an auteur and he can do it his own way now, without the influence of the mucky mucks…except he needs the money to make his newest project, Sister Bambi. And that is what brought him to South America to seek out the financial backing of a set of wealthy triplets.

    Rex pitches his idea to the Nazi-loving trio, but they have some ideas of their own before they give him the money. Actually they offer him a diamond worth millions that he can hock and get what he needs to make the picture. But their interests in the film content lie in areas not quite on the mind of Rex, such as lots of gang rape, which puts him in an Ed Wood position where he needs to modify his story in order to get the dough. And one other thing he has to deal with if he is to take them as backers: they have a “daughter” named Ilsa Six, who is really a clone they made, and they want her to be the star. Rex promised it to his girl Coconut and this really puts him in a pickle. Before the deal can be sealed, someone unhappy with Nazis makes a statement that changes the situation for Rex, but it isn't any better a situation than he was in before.

    The creative duo behind the 5-star first series returns and it looks like this new story will be right up there in the same league with the original. Rick Spears' ideas are over-the-top and absurd, and James Callahan's execution of said ideas make for some fantastic and immature comic bliss. All the characters that helped to make the first series so much fun make their return in this issue: Darwin the psychopath, Dr. Love the drug guru, the voluptuous Coconut, and the oxygen mask-wearing Oracle (check out the apple pipe he and the Dr. Love toke on). The gratuitous violence that is so overboard it's funny, intentionally so, and the little pieces that Callahan throws in the mix for astute readers results in some great chuckles. Example: one of the Nazi triplets gets sliced up in the design of the Star of David. You might miss it if you read too fast and don't soak in the sites. And the second-to-last page is one of those moments that just might make you snicker loud enough to get shushed in a library.

    The character of Nathan T. Rex is amazingly sleazy and incredibly enjoyable, and made so even more by the way he's drawn. Sure the art is cartoonish, but done in a way that makes this title as perfect as it is. Callahan's style might turn off some, but for those who dig it, he puts down out excellent stuff. The wait was long for this sequel to come about, but man what a great first issue. It's one of those books that one read just isn't enough and the next issue just can't get here soon enough. This is off-the-wall goofiness that might turn off the more “intellectual” reader, but to those into dark humor and outlandishness, this should fit the bill nicely.
