They say this cat Black Dynamite is a bad mother
O.k, so maybe the line doesn't quite go that way.

Going into the book, I wanted to hold it up as a companion piece to Jim Rugg's Aphrodisiac, but instead I talk about how Rugg's book if far more in the spirit of the Black Dynamite movie than this comic book is.Black Dynamite’s infiltration of the slave island and the freeing of the slaves should be a larger-than-life story of pain, of heroism, of wine, women and song. The movie is a good movie not because it told a strong story, but because it lovingly and equally embraced everything that was great and horrible about those movies, from the passion behind them to the lousy craftsmanship that was often on display on the screen. Ash’s script in the comic is played too straight laced to be either homage or spoof. There’s no love for the material or humor in the situation anywhere on display in this book. There’s no exaggeration in this book that gives you any sense that there’s any feelings or love behind this book.
