A bit of a break takes us into another of the very, very strange corners of the Marvel Universe that is inhabited by creations of Steve Gerber. I've had this comic on my radar for a while, but only procured it recently, and it was both everything I expected and nothing like what I expected. A tiny little child gets quite brutally killed in the first 2 pages, but everything is in Amanda Conner's inimitable cartoonish style, so it's like a cute brutal killing?
The story, and the villain, however, are pure Gerber. A giant-lipped immortal descended from an Aye-Aye wants to take over the world and eat it. A suburban housewife has been training three young married women as ninjas to take on this evil and save the world.
Yep.
The great part is that there are some hints that this is also taking place in the Marvel Universe proper, as Scarsdale is revealed to be a secondary Nexus of All Realities, subordinate to the primary one that Man-Thing guards in the Florida swamps. Which also means that there's a great chance that the She-Devils might show up again one day in the Marvel U. Or the MCU, perhaps? Wouldn't a premise like this make for a great MCU-set sitcom?
Worth a read if you're looking for something quite unlike just about anything else you've read from superhero comics - but that's kind of Steve Gerber in a nutshell
