Nov. '86 - Son of Ambush Bug # 5

Ambush Bug was a character that was started by Keith Giffen in the Superman titles. He was funny in those. There is an issue of DC Comics Presents with Superman, Ambush Bug and the Legion of Substitute of Heroes that is just hilarious. And his first mini-series was really good. With this second mini-series I was disappointed. The first series had some semblance of a plot which held it together. This one just seemed to be jokes thrown in - some funny, some not - with no cohesion.

I re-read them now with no real joy or interest. I know when I re-read the first mini-series I spend a little more time really looking at each page to try and catch all the little jokes put in the panels. Not so with this series.
