It’s the final issue of the Ambush Bug miniseries and the star of our show is finally going into a Battle Royale with Darkseid. Only, this death wish must be postponed until story’s end. Instead, the Bug is targeted for death by a villain who accidently wound up in the wrong book. As this villain realizes he’s been placed in the wrong title with another character who is completely aware he’s in a comic book too (AB!), the walls of continuity come crashing down. Plus, it seems that writer and creator, Keith Giffen, has broken into editor Julie Schwartz’ liquor cabinet and is holding the ending of this book hostage until Ambush Bug becomes a monthly title.
Sadly, Ambush Bug never got a monthly title. But, he did get several more one-shots and a couple more mini-series. I look forward to them as they surely are as wicked fun as this one, right?
Normally, I don’t do this, but there’s a Showcase Presents that collects every appearance of the Bug and I might just have to get it. Some back issues are really expensive, especially, his first appearances in DC Comics Presents and Action Comics. I just must read every Ambush Bug story and I don’t mind buying a book that has some previously read and owned material in it in order to accomplish this feat.
Worth Consuming.
