Miaowara Tomokato is back--and he's gone to his reward. The warrior who's defeated everyone from Darth Vader to Nazi dinosaurs has died and gone to Heaven--the fitting end to his illustrious career.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is the final book of the adventures of samurai cat and what a perfect ending it is. Tomakato and Shiro versus all of their most famous enemies on the battlefield of hell. Mark mixs humor and violence better then any other writer. The jokes run the range from basic gag humor to serious jokes you have a good bit of knowledge to understand. The action is over the top and non-stop. The opening battle between our heroic duo and the hordes of Ghengis Khan is graphic and laugh out loud funny at the same time. Also a plus the book has so of the author's best drawings as well.
Samurai Cat Goes to Hell is absolutely tremendous!

Mark Rogers is hilarious and erudite! SCGTH is absolutely full of the most vividly bizzare imagery and clever wordplay. Plus, this guy knows more about Chinese history than any Gwailo I've ever read! Anyone who likes dinosaurs, Dante, decapitations, or, (to break the d-pattern,) the films of Ching Siu Tung should check out this book..and the other Samurai Cat books too!
hilarious ultra-violent theological comedy

Boy does this guy know a lot about everything---guns, Chinese history, Dante, Christian and Muslim Neoplatonism...I'm a Dante scholar, and the stuff about the Hell for the Virtuous pagans is a well-informed hoot. Where Dante only gives you a couple of medieval moslem philosophers, Rogers gives you four(that's excluding Al-jolson and Al-Capone)---if you catch a third of the jokes in this book you'll be lucky. Great stuff---C.S. Lewis on speed.
Can we convince Tor Books to publish the first 4 Samurai Cat

One of the funniest, if not THE funniest books I've ever read. I picked it up on a lark (the title intrigued me) and began reading it shortly after the death of my sister-in-law. If you need a book to snap you out of a depression-this it it! The jokes and puns are wickedly apt (Kurt Loder as a face of Satan?), and some are just plain groaners. All in all, I thorougly enjoyed it!
I liked this book.
