    AIPT - David Brooke

    Jun 02, 2026

    Nut Puncher #1 embraces its ridiculous premise wholeheartedly and is better for it. Paul Tobin crafts a chaotic future full of strange addictions, social commentary, and offbeat humor, while Carlos Javier Olivares delivers artwork packed with enough visual jokes and oddities to reward multiple readings. Beneath the absurdity is a compelling mystery that gives the story direction, ensuring the comic is more than a collection of outrageous gags. If you're in the mood for something unpredictable, energetic, and delightfully strange, this is an easy recommendation. Read Full Review

    Comic Crusaders - Al Mega

    May 30, 2026

    Junk Punch hits hard, laughs loud, and proudly waves its freak flag from the top of the comic shop roof. This is Mad Cave serving up absurdist action with a mischievous grin, and I am absolutely here for the madness. WEPA-approved, fam. Read Full Review

    Get Your Comic On - Aaron Gillingham

    Jun 03, 2026

    This is a bizarre comic that delivers on hyper-energy, bright colours and an over-the-top sense of humour that some may find hit or miss. Take the style and attitude of Tank Girl, mash it with the futuristic setting of Blade Runner, and sprinkle the crude comedy of Deadpool on top for good measure, and you have Junk Punch. If that sounds like your thing, then you’ll have a blast. Read Full Review

    Plot
    Clara Castenelle is the "heroine" known as JUNK PUNCH! She helps the helpless, but frequently needs to deliver a kick in the groin to any man who crosses her path.

    She must solve a robbery mystery in this world where sex is free and alcohol flows freely. This comic is wacky and full of raunchy comedy.

    Art
    It is naive with many textures and strokes that give it an interesting dynamism, where the empowered sensuality of JUNK PUNCH stands out.

    Summary
    The most violently funny heroine must solve a mysterious robbery.
    Sex, alcohol, and hilarious low punches.
