Overall then, a pretty disappointing issue. Though it has its moments, they're all concentrated in the first 5 pages, leaving the remaining 22 bland and uninspired. Let's hope next month's tale of Xt'tapalatakettle, the Olmec statue given by Mr. Burns to Bart, will prove more worthy of the Simpsons' name.

I can't wait for issue two, though a nicer cover would be, erm, nice.
