This really is one of the best examples of stone faced supercop in wacky circumstances (Hot Fuzz, Judge Dredd, and Punisher books that aren’t written to be so deadly serious.) The plot, as I remember it, is Dutch’s(Arnold’s character from the movie) brother Duke is a NY cop and goes to the jungle to investigate Dutch’s disappearance. The second book is Duke’s family man partner going to investigate Duke’s disappearance. The writers do a great job holding onto what makes the movie great and use the format to go further with regard to cartoonish physiques and spine-ripping action. Characters are written better than they need to be, better deadpan humor than the movie, fun cop show tropes, the second book has a lot of fun with old sitcom references.
