Jul 31, 2019It's a goofy read that probably didn't need to have continuity of four previous issues, but can still be fun and has some wild character designs. Read Full Review

I didn't have much interest in the Warps concept, but this is a completely gonzo parody of it that wouldn't feel out of place in Mad Magazine. You probably need to be a long-time Marvel reader to really appreciate it, though... Learning from a glossary that a certain character has elements of someone from DP7(!) can't possibly be as satisfying as picking up on it right away. I do think this is about as far as the concept needs to be taken, although I would read a Doctor Hyperjustice series based just on the name.

The main story by Al Ewing is ridiculously complicated, but also manages to make a lot of sense at the same time. It's interesting. While not as strong as the previous Arachknight issue, I did enjoy the crazy ride. The back-up, it seems, is like almost all the others. It doesn't really live up to the potential these characters have and doesn't necessarily tell a great story. I feel like, again, the Arachknight issue was better in this regard. Jim Zub's back-up was on par with the main story and just as fun. This issue's back-up brings the score down a bit. It just has trouble finding its voice and everything ends up a bit awkward and muddled as a result.

Everybody getting compounded into increasingly ridiculous combinations of characters was A++. The backup was boring.

I wish this series had started out with a warning that it was going to go all the way to "facial hair on top of masks" ridiculous by the end. Perhaps the warning was Ulysses Klorb, the villain with a giant ear for a head, and I should have paid more attention to it.
