I wanted to like this new Buckaroo Banzai story, but it ended up being a terrible mess. I grew up with the cult classic film, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai : Across the Eighth Dimension, and it still holds up a lot better than the books written to follow it. None of the fun of the film was carried into this graphic novel, the writing was incredibly weak and average comic art was the strongest aspect of this disappointing book.
