Earlier today it was announced that Dark Horse is bringing back Geoff Darrow’s Shaolin Cowboy in a four issue mini series, The Shaolin Cowboy: Who’ll Stop the Reign? continues the epic saga of one man’s onslaught. Darrow will write and draw as usual and Dave Stewart will provide colors.

While nerdlebrity comics lines are common now—from Shia LaBeouf to DMC—a pioneer in this regard and still one of the best in terms of quality is Burlyman Comics, which is owned by the Wachowskis, the directing siblings behind The Matrix, the much beloved Speed Racer and the upcoming Jupiter Ascending. The company has been around for about a decade and launched about a decade ago with Doc Frankenstein by the Wachowskis and Matrix storyboard artist Steve Scroce, and Shaolin Cowboy by the all around genius Geof Darrow. Burlyman put out 7 issues of Shaolin Cowboy before fading away—the seriesfollow the  adventures of a nameless Shaolin and his mule in an apocalyptic American West—a concept that seems maybe too simple until you know that Darrow is drawing it with all his hallucinogenic detail. The tagline "A buddy picture with a body count" explains it all.
