Prison Pit: Book 1 at comiXology

Prison Pit on iPad

There is more Johnny Ryan available digitally than you can shake a raggedly amputated alien arm at now thanks to comiXology. Prison Pit is an original graphic novel from the pen of Johnny Ryan combining his love for WWE wrestling, Gary Panter’s “Jimbo” comics, and Kentaro Miura’s “Berserk” Manga into a brutal showcase of violence, survival and revenge. Imagine a blend of old-fashioned role playing fantasy games like Dungeons & Dragons crossed with contemporary adult video games like Grand Theft Auto, filtered through Ryan’s sense of humor.

This 122 page digital book begins with Cannibal Fuckface being thrown into the Prison Pit, a barren negative-zone populated by intergalactic, violent monster criminals. In this first volume, C.F. gets into a bloody slorge war (a slorge is a giant slug that excretes a steroid-like drug called “fecid” that all the monster men are addicted to) with ultraprisoner Rottweiler Herpes and his henchmen Rabies Bloodbath and Assrat. The ensuing bloodbath is an over-the-top, hyperviolent yet hilarious farce worthy of Ryan’s inspiration, Kentaro Miura.

Not only can you carry this book with you anywhere on your digital reading device but you can show gruesome panels to bratty children or smug cubical co-workers in backlit brillance for only $9.99 at the comiXology store.
