kickpuncher

In 2010, Mahfood was hit up by his old friend Dan Harmon to provide the art chores on the KICKPUNCHER comic book. The story was written by Harmon and Mahfood, with Steven Chunn on colors. The book is only available in the Season 1 DVD of NBC‘s hit show, ‘Community‘. Inside the comic, the writing credit jokingly goes to Troy Barnes, Donald Glover’s character, within the Greendale universe. The idea is that he was in an art class with Jim Mahfood, who is an art student at Greendale and took a shine to Troy’s talents and decided to take him under his wing as a protégé and do this comic book. So it’s from the mind of Troy Barnes, which can be a little scattered. At times he’s not a master storyteller, but he is an entertainer. It’s six pages of satisfying content, which features Annie and Britta from the show in a typical comic book situation, which is scantily clad and in jeopardy. And it, of course, features Kickpuncher, who is at the whim of Troy and Abed because they’re so cool. His punches are like kicks!!!
