The joke here was saved by Immonen who is a first class artist who doesnt seem to get the respect he deserves. Hes a pro and he delivers no matter what comic book hes working on.

Better to just enjoy the jokes, take in the artwork and not worry too much about where the story is going until it actually gets there -- then go back and read it all properly. Read Full Review
