Review/plot:
I guess kids that were going to buy Team America toys were probably the same demographic that liked cowboys. So why not combine them?

But if i personally had to stack rank Team America, Cowboy would definitely be on the bottom. And after my already swellingly high opinion of Team America. So for this solo Cowboy, i'm basically just skimming this and holy crap is that a nuclear missile hidden in a giant Roman statue?!

Flipping back a few pages, this story features a car salesman named Tony Rome who sets himself up as the Caesar of Texas on an island floating in the air. But just to give you a sense of how poorly these stories are put together, here's as close as you can get to a picture of the floating Roman island.

Really? I mean, the crazy majesty of a big Roman city floating over the state of Texas is just what comic books were designed to show. And this is what we get to see?
