Clint: The Hamster Triumphant #1

Issue Details

Synopsis

Clint, the most violent Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamster, gets his own solo mini-series in this parody of Apocalypse Now (and other action movies).   Clint is getting bored training in the monastery.  He wants some action.  He challenges Master Lock, the hamsters' teacher, to a fight, and wins.  Later, Lock and the other monks give him a special mission: to defeat the Queenpin, a transvestite crime lord.  (It should be noted that ARBBH is not noted for its political correctness and walks a very fine line between satirizing racial and gender stereotypes, and succumbing to them.)  She is the greatest crime lord in the area and has defeated fifty of the monks' previous champions.   Clint travels to Bangkok and looks for info on the Queenpin, killing many of his sources as he searches around!  However, he is eventually knocked out by two of the Queenpin's goons.  He wakes up in prison, where he meets three mice, Larry, Moe, and Curly, who are parodies of the Three Stooges.  He tries to get them to help him, but they refuse.  Curly eventually changes his mind and comes back, and the two of them escape together.   Clint and Curly later invade the Queenpin's high-rise, and fight a variety of thugs, as well as a robot dog that Clint knock out of the building.  This dog later ends up chasing a passerby, Duk Fon Dieu [see earlier note about stereotypes] throughout the series.   Clint defeats the guards and the Queenpin runs out to a helicopter.  Curly jumps on and bites the Queenpin, but she throws him into the helicopter blades, cutting him to shreds before taking off.  Clint, who normally doesn't care about anyone, had grown close to Curly, and his mission from the monks has now turned into a blood feud.  Clint tags the helicopter with a crossbow bolt attached to a rope, and flies off behind the chopper.
