review:
'Punk Mambo' by Cullen Bunn with art by Adam Gorham and covers by Dan Brereton is a reboot of sorts of the Valiant magic using malcontent.

Punk Mambo is a mambo living in New Orleans and dealing with taking out supernatural monsters. When the spirit, or loa, she uses gets kidnapped, she decides to take it personal. The loa would help in her quest, but it turns out all the loas are being kidnapped, so she reluctantly accepts an offer of help and heads to Haiti to crack skulls and sort things out.

Also included is a one shot by Peter Milligan and Robert Gill giving a sort of origin story of the character.

I like edgy, cranky characters and Punk Mambo is just that. With her punch first, then talk style and willingness to take a beating, she's pretty cool. The internal art by Adam Gorham works great, but those painted covers by Dan Brereton really show you what this character is all about.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Valiant Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
