Words

If you're the kind of person who cares for a greater good of the mankind, there's no better literature for you to get your hands on! This is a must read for all who crave for do-goodery! Or carnage.

Dr. McNinja is a typical ninja that happens to be a medical doctor as well. He's good at both his professions, and often practices them at the same time. "It may sting a little", may not always refer to a syringe... Assisting the doctor are Judy, his gorilla receptionist, Gordito, a 12-year-old gunslinger riding a raptor, a clone of Benjamin Franklin, and sometimes his parents, the old McNinjas. (Usually reluctantly, as they don't appreciate their son becoming a doctor.)

As you have probably guessed, the story is far from "real world stuff". But who cares, right? If you've been dying for a proper action comic, Dr. McNinja might be able to save your life.

The artwork is fine. Clean, detailed, and doesn't get messy even in situations that do get messy (especially when chainsaw nunchacks are involved). I slightly preferred the initial pure black and white drawing, but the full color version is not bad either - just a matter of personal taste.

Merchandise

Three books were published, each of them composed with a medical/ninja-like precision! There's also a lot of extra stuff that you don't get to see on-line. Buy the whole trilogy to save a few bucks.
