"Kamandi: At Earth's End #2 of 6 (Elseworlds, 1993)"

Kamandi rescues the obligatory last fertile female on earth in issue 2.

That cliché is forgivable. What I don’t understand is why she has to be captured by a wide array of bizarre mutant males. I call this the X-men paradox. You never see an entire race of mutants in X-Men with the same powers. There’s always a different power/body type/ look for each character.

The same goes for Kamandi. No one looks the same. And every mutant male is way too top heavy. (This type of art work is a main reason why I am not a fan of A.D. 2000) I hate it.

The Omega Man, Mad Max, and Night of the Comet are cult classics when it comes to this type of story and they all used uniform looking villains. So, why does anyone how draws post-apocalyptic comics feel that they have to go hog wild and draw a vast array of body types. Carte Blanche is not an excuse. Why, it even insults my readership.

Not worth Consuming.
