This is an else worlds story that reminds me of the Ultimate Marvel universe. I like what they did with characters like the Penguin and Bullock. There not the same as there main-stream counter parts but there's something familiar about them and John's interpretation of them seems fitting. The knock I would give on this book is that I wish the plot had a little more "umph" to it. What we get is good but it almost feels too short. It makes me wish that this was a monthly so we could keep exploring Earth One with Johns and Frank. If I remember right, one of the goals of the Ultimate Marvel line was to re-imagined their most popular characters without all the baggage of main continuity and I think that's what's accomplished here. Sometimes you want to read a fun Batman story without being bogged down by continuity or earth-shattering events. more

The plot loses a little of it's momentum this issue as we get a flash back that introduces "Lady Dragonflyman". There are not a lot of story developments but this is still a fun read. It'll probably feel more whole when it's collected in a trade with the rest of the arc.

This book continues to be an entertaining read. The plot continues to unfold and more light is shed on Dagaonfly/Dragonflyman's relationship with Stinger, is something we only get hints of in Wrong Earth. It's interesting to see how Peyer and Krause continue to weave these concurrent plots in a way that compliments each other and yet feel distinct on their own. The artwork continues to be great and I can't wait for the next issue. more

I read the trade paperback for The Wrong Earth and immediately sought this book out. This series takes place before the events of Wrong Earth which was a initially disappointing but it's great to read more about these characters regardless.
The comic follows the adventures of Dragonfly (on Earth-Omega) and Dragonflyman (on Earth-Alpha) as they attempt to stop their own earth's version of a villain called "Devil Man". The plot of the two heroes parallel each other and it's interesting to see how they end up in similar circumstances despite their stark differences. I enjoyed seeing how the fun and ridiculous world of Dragonflyman contrasted with the dark and grim world of Dragonfly and I can't wait to see what happens next.
If you enjoyed The Wrong Earth, definitely pick this one up. more

For part 1 of a 4 part series, not much happens in this issue. Perhaps it will be worth reading in a trade. There's 16 pages of main story here with a 4 page back-up. This issue can be summarized as "Supper Duck fights a bad guy". There's a cliff hanger at the end but it's a trope that will be familiar to any supper hero fan. On a positive note, the art is great and they nail the Disney aesthetic they're going for.

I knew nothing about Super Duck prior to this comic. I picked it up based on the premise and the mature rating had me thinking the plot could go to a dark and serious place. The mature content amounts to jokes that would go right over a kid's head (imagine the jokes a financial analysts would make at a party) or visuals that could have been removed from the book entirely and have no impact on the plot.

I'm hesitant to judge the whole series on 1 issue but this is what they chose to come out swinging with and it did little to draw me in. Combine that with the fact that this is 25% of the whole story and it did little to entice me to pick up issue 2. more
