Ambush Bug #2

 Ambush Bug (1985) #2


If you are expecting to see the Darkseid/ Ambush Bug battle as cliffhangered in the last issue, you’ll have to wait. Instead, part-time PI Ambush Bug takes a case involving a giant mutated koala bear named Quantis. I usually hate it when a super villain’s real name is a tease to their MO in terms of crimes committed. For example, a moniker I do like is Edward Nygma or E.Nygma for the real name of the Riddler. But to have a guy named Charlie Tunna get turned into a radioactive fish villain is too much.

Yet, to have the koala’s name be Quantis is really clever, because few people realize that Quantis is a name for an airline that serves Australia almost exclusively and koala bears are from Down Under as well.


Lots of great gags and easter eggs. I really enjoyed it.

Worth Consuming
