lots going on this issue.
- the mourning issue, everyone hanging out at headquarters getting drunk. even doop. then going out in public and roughing up reporters, tike and dead girl getting busted by the cops.
- guy ‘conversing’ w/ the edie action figure was a nice touch. looks like he’s becoming more and more (considering he already plays russian roulette every day) unhinged.
- nice to see lacuna again. was wondering if milligan was going to bring her back. glad that he did.
- all the symbols. The ubiquitous ‘x’ of course, but also the stars on the vodka bottles and lacuna’s shirt, and all the skulls.
- solomon o’sullivan (‘50% jewish, 50% irish, 100% behind you’). slightly reminiscent of that ‘cult of the unwritten book’ guy from ‘doom patrol’.
- lots of interaction w/ spike freeman this issue. liked his line about how they're in direct competition w/ x-men, x-factor, fantastic 4, etc for market dominance or whatever.
- tike and dead girl. boy that relationship seemed to fizzle pretty fast (catch her giving him the bird after their argument).
- phat and vivisector. such an interesting relationship they have.
- missed my monthly mike allred fix (thankfully laura allred was on board w/ the coloring, and oni press/aaa-pop just released a collection of early ‘madman’ stuff, so it’s all good. also, are madman and dead girl brother and sister? and when’s that madman/x-statix crossover going to happen?), but I really liked duncan fegredo’s art this issue.
- the doop kiddies hospital. the doop comicbook that phat is reading. doop on keychains and tshirts. doesn't seem to be too concerned w/ overexposure, apparently. |
