I've never watched the show but now I want to. This book was hysterical. I couldn't tell you the last time I laughed this much reading a comic. I've read this picks up where the cartoon left off. Alien cows have taken over the Earth and Steve must travel back in time to murder his boss and stop the cows from taking over. If you like irreverent, inappropriate and offensive humor, you'll dig this book.

If you read Brickleberry, be prepared for gratuitous sex, adult language and situations, all while insults fly at every conceivable topic. So be warned. Otherwise, it is your typical comedic attempt to deal alien invasion, the end of humanity, time travel, and family relations.

According to the recap—one huge star just for including it!—this is about how alien cows took over the planet, with one guy particularly happy about it because of the love that dare not moo its name. The protagonist looks like Peter Griffith if he REALLY let himself go, but hey, he’s the hero, gotta root for him. And since cows are racist too they make really good bad guys here.
“Steve, you’ve returned.” Oh boy, this writing is not instilling confidence early on.
Some of the jokes you can spot from a continent away. For example, I had a feeling the scientist was screwing with him about inserting all the stuff from the time machine. Likewise the “Who’s your daddy?” twist. Thankfully a lot of it is inspired funny lunacy, like the hero’s weapon of choice being a t-shirt cannon; awesome in some circumstances, not so much in others. And spike strips should not be used on humans! Owwie! (There’s a close-up, in case you had any doubts.)
“Way to think on your feet, Wayne Brady.” Wow, that’s a reference I never thought I’d see. Definitely not often Amazon and Obama get slammed back to back, and that’s probably a good thing.
Plotwise there’s nothing new here—except with cows—and a lot of it doesn’t make sense, but it’s so madcap the sense is it was never meant to in the first place. Just be on the lookout for the jokes, which are sometimes too-far or too-soon but always hilarious.
3.5 pushed up to 4/5

Very loud and hyperactive, 'wants-to-be-too-rude-for-TV' cartoon strip. Racial references, gay jibes by the buttload, religious bits, and cultural references ahoy. Not too bad, but I doubt I'll willingly choose to see volume 2.

I fell into Comedy Central's "Brickleberry" by accident, and for the most part loved it from day one. Lowbrow humor and mature subject matter to say the LEAST, the show still made me laugh out loud and was so insane and bawdy, I've since watched every episode of all three seasons multiple times. This graphic novel combines the first four issues of the new comic (released since the show left the air) into one long volume that begins exactly where the series finale ended - with Woody's determination to leave the largest carbon footprint on the planet attracting the attention of alien cows, who wipe out nearly all of mankind after taking the opportunity to attack (yes, you read that right). It's years later now, the cows run earth and humans are almost gone, but the dumbest and most useless Brickleberry ranger ever, Steve, now has a weapon for an arm and is sent on a mission to go back in time to kill Woody just before the cow apocalypse happens, therefore saving the world. The cows, for their part, send trailer trash human hillbilly Bobby - who's grown to love his new-found life as a sex slave for the cows, and wants to keep them ruling earth - back in time as well, to stop Steve ... and from there on nothing goes as planned, of course. Series creators O'Guin and Black try to cram in every running gag from the show they can into the narrative here, but with all that I just found the first half of this volume a bit dull and not very funny at all - plus, overall, the artwork felt quite sloppy and amateurish compared to the series. Things pick up greatly storywise though, especially toward the end, but I still can't help thinking this would have been more enjoyable - definitely funnier - on screen than on paper. 2.5/5 stars
