Sooo...I'm not a huge fan of Ambush Bug - he's one of those characters who seems tailor-made for my take on superheroes, but something about him just turns me off. I appreciate the breaking of the fourth wall, the completely surreal nature of his existence, even the very, very silly costume. I think what gets me is the lack of narrative progression in anything I've ever read him in. It just seems like one bizarre panel after another, with little to link them together, sometimes. With today's comic, I do feel like there was a lot of context laid down in his mini-series, and much of the humour relied on that context. I liked the zombie dolls storyline, and the hunt for Brother Power was pretty neat and I thought that's what the comic would be about, but it wasn't...well, it sort of was, but not really?
Anyway, it was a Christmas comic that I read today. Then I had a nap.
To be continued.
