Pirates. Rock and Roll. Scientists. Robots. Ninjas. PIRATES.

A little while ago I found (and read) the book The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists, by Gideon Defoe. As you might imagine from the title, I thought this was the zenith of literature as far as I was concerned, and that I would never find its equal (except perhaps in the proposed sequel, The Pirates! In An Adventure With Whales).

Now, though, something astounding has occurred. I have discovered, quite by accident, the New Zealand created comic Pirate Technics which is...well, let me explain. It's about a band of robot pirates from the country of Rock'n'Roll, lead by Captain Seatron, who are fighting a war against the robots of neighbouring country Dance, led by Admiral Droptimus Prime. However, they soon have to put aside their differences and meet with ninjas from the neutral territory of HipHop in order to deal with a new, deadlier menace - zombie robots...

I'll admit it sounds crazy, but if you don't think that at least sounds a little bit cool then I'm not sure why I know you.

Now, to write to the editors and ask that they put dinosaurs in the next issue.
