BONUS REVIEW by JOHN SCHAEFER


The return of a classic DC title and it's not a New 52. Kevin Maguire pulls double duty in bring us the return of Tanga. Art work and storyline are all pretty Maguiresque and she makes a fine back up feature. Secondary feature Garbage Man is alright but the whole concept of the character is very "B side" Swamp Thing. (The B-side of a record album was where the record manufacturer's put the less popular song of a artist with a hit single to get out for the public to hear. What do you mean, "What's a record album?" Ay Maron! Google it you technodweebs.) But our A list character is former My Greatest Adventure character, Robotman. Robotman is one of those wonderful DC characters that has been around for decades in one form or another. This time he's living in the out-skirts of Las Vegas keeping busy as a private investigator (of sorts). The general plot borrows heavily from another DC robotic hero of the past, Automan (headliner in DC's old Tales of the Unexpected title). Spotting this, I vaguely became all nostalgic. Unfortunately, Matt Kindt throws a monkey wrench into the story by bringing in that most horrible (and very common, these days) blight, zombies. Have I ever told you how much I hate zombies? No matter where I turn these days, I find zombies. Sure zombies were fun back in the George Romero days but do the story writers of today understand the phase, "Beating a Dead Horse" (no ironic pun like reference there). I really want to like this book. I think that anthology books are a perfect way to showcase wonderful less popular characters that will never get their own book. Unfortunately, DC is only giving themselves 6 issues to do it.
