I've been seeing this here and there but I'm still a bit confused. Is Kevin Eastman writing it and drawing it? Is he even drawing it at all? The page doesn't appear to have an answer. Just based on the art I see (not his) and the general vibe of it, it seems like he's only peripherally involved, covers, maybe a short in it.

Ben Bishop is the main artist on the story

I saw this one Facebook and left a comment about the idea Ragdoll cat ronin (just the right floppiness for martial arts) - which he and Courtney left likes on.
|
It seems very autobiographical. I imagine it'll do well at least critically.

I'm just really into the reimagining with Ragdoll cats. I mean, he could have used Maine Coons or Bombays, Siamese, or even Bengals, something fairly big and bad@$$, but he used the breed famous for floppiness and amicability.
At least there's a possibility for the Ragdolls to have differences in appearance to set them apart aside from weaponry, thus allowing them to share a single color uniform/mask. http://www.5280ragdolls.com/cat%20color.jpg I'd even guess that Shane is a merger of Eastman and Laird in some way. |

If Shane is just Eastman with a twist, will Laird be parodied at all?

Sounds like the Laird stand-in is Shane's brother who gets a loan from mobsters. Weird...
