"Get ready to get ready while the ready is still good for ready-getting." - 3D Cowboy

Get ready for chaos, mayhem, and lunacy as the Power Persons Five meet the Super Gentendo 64!

Now you're playing with power!!!

I don't care what it says about me . . . I LOVED this series!

The incereased ridiculousness made this arc funnier. Still, the story is too chaotic to be enjoyable. It's split in primarily two storylines that barely intersect and are left fairly open for a potential new chapter to this strange saga. I know I won't pick it up if it comes along.

King Tiger Eating a Hamburger is attacking Earth. His crab forces face Earth's defenders, the PP5 and their army of bears. Meanwhile Starrior's baby Starlina is kidnapped by the Impossible's new superpowered team so the Neo Geode can harness her star energy to save the universe. This obviously doesn't sit well with Starrior who goes through time to get her husband's help to save her baby.

King Tiger's son reveals he is alive, resurrected by the Super Gentendians. He tries to get his father to quit his violent attack, but is suddenly killed by two Star Fighters time travelling from different timelines. King Tiger is betrayed and killed by Pandor who negotiates peace with Sir Hipothesis who in turn wants to invade the crab planet because of the injuries he suffered. And Starrior saves her baby.

There's an episode of Seinfeld (it's a two-parter) where George is working for the New York Yankees and is assigned a "big project" by his boss, Mr. Wilhelm. George doesn't hear the details of the project because Mr. Wilhelm was in the bathroom gibbering about the particulars with his dick in his hand while George waited outside. Too afraid to ask Wilhelm to repeat his orders and be scolded for not paying attention, George (who doesn't want another "Pensky file" on his hands) tries to figure out what he's been tasked to do. Unbeknownst to George, Mr. Wilhelm's brain is leaking out of his head, which means the whole "project" is probably a fool's errand. In Part 2, Willhelm, after being shown having forgotten to take his sanity pills, completes George's project. He submits it with George's name on it to the general manager of the team Mr. Steinbrenner, and then congratulates George on a job well done. George can't believe his stroke of luck and tells Jerry, "I have no idea who did it, what they did, or how they did it so well. And you know what? Jimmy crack corn and I don't care!" However, after reading the report Mr. Steinbrenner summons George for a face-to-face in his office. George walks in to find two orderlies waiting in the corners of the room and they cart him off to the booby hatch.

This is that report.
If God Hates Astronauts was originally created as a 24-hour comic, then volume 3 must be the result of Ryan Browne having been awake for 2 years. This sucked.
But the art was good!

Consistently hilarious.

If you've read the previous titles in the series you will know what kind of grade A madness you are in for. Volume 3 does not disappoint.

Crammed full of anthropomorphic animal violence, time jumping, retro gaming references, lasers, ghosts and cheese facts. This is a punch to the ribs in the best way possible.

If you enjoy adult swim cartoons, you will likely enjoy this.
If you don't enjoy adult swim cartoons, you will likely enjoy this.

A breath of fresh air from the dark, brooding comics. Generally a good time all round.

Read or pass away unfulfilled.

Nejspíš čím dál divnější se stále novými absurdními nápady. Věřím, že na další přečtení tomu ještě hvězdičku přidám.

[Chris Browning · Rating 5 out of 5]

And obviously Browne ends it on a high note. Everyone is awful in this, no one is heroic save for possibly 3D Ghost and even he’s got a nasty surprise waiting for him

Scrub that. Simon the Lawyer Cat. There you go. The true hero

[Taylor · Rating 3 out of 5]

In this one, things got real messy.

[Art · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wasn't sure it could get weirder than the first two volumes. I was mistaken. It was quite a ride.

[Robert Marsh · Rating 5 out of 5]

Even more marvelously insanerer than Vol 2.

[Sierra Dean · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read for TLP

[Natasha]

The wheels fell off the story or maybe I loved it, I don't know. I liked the experience of reading a weird thing and this was that.

[Javier Campos · Rating 2 out of 5]

El dibujo es excelente pero la historia se disfruta más con el cerebro apagado

[Julia Dwyer · Rating 4 out of 5]

The fact that 3-D cowboy was missing in the 7th issue is a crime. #free3-DCowboy

[Alex Sarll]

Because having Earth invaded by King Tiger Eating A Cheeseburger and his crab army wasn't quite strange enough, it's time to start mucking with time travel and resultant paradoxes, plus a spot of silly buggers regarding the increasingly unreliable narrator, who develops a drinking problem and gets replaced by Charles Soule. Delightfully stupid.

[Kenny · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jack Kirby and Stan Lee on acid plus the kitchen sink.

[Matthew Gault · Rating 4 out of 5]

A series that just gets weirder and weirder the long it goes on.

[Bradley Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

I pray this is not the end of GHA. So much absurd humor. Need so much more.
