This isn't the best example of Bongo's product " the gleefully over-the-top Simpsons #185, still on shelves, is better " but it is head and shoulders above almost all other all-ages material out there.

Is this title going to soothe your X-Men jones? No. It is also not a nostalgia trip aimed at 40-something losers with a stack of Silver Age books in their attic. It's a taut, deeply weird book that is something else entirely. Is it worth reading? Hell yes.
