Remember that 1980s-era Stallone action-film COBRA?<\/p>\n

No? Seriously? What heck\u2019s wrong with you?!<\/p>\n

Go watch it. Now. I\u2019m serious.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay, I\u2019ll wait…
\nRight. Now you’re back. Good. Now we discuss MAXWELL CAIN: BURRITO AVENGER. Y’know how over-stylized, hyper-violent, and pants crappingly insane COBRA was? All the cheesy one-liners. All the tits and bullets. Yeah. Great stuff. Well, if you\u2019re man enough to enjoy that level of blood-drenched, explosion-happy, action movie madness, you just might be able to handle Maxwell Cain.<\/p>\n

Set in a futuristic Los Angeles that feels like it came straight out of a late-night cable B-movie, Max is a tough as nail cop who shoots first, shoots often, and bothers with questions only when he feels like it. He’s big, bad, full of rage, and has a very, very short fuse. Sort of a mix of Marion “Cobra” Cobretti, Judge Dredd, Clint Eastwood, and that creepy guy who sits at the back of the local Denny\u2019s looking as if he\u2019s about to snap.<\/p>\n

Then Max loses his job. Loses his burrito. And loses his temper. And the only thing more dangerous than Max Cain with a badge, is Max without the badge. Now he\u2019s gone pure Punisher, and taken the law into his own hands. Max is a big man with a big gun, and the criminal underworld is going to pay!<\/p>\n

Oh, there’s also the hot blonde in the book who also has some big guns, but I don’t want to get this review pulled from Amazon. So, I’ll leave that to your imagination.<\/p>\n
