Following up on the
previous issue’s cliffhanger, the Zoo Crew must save the Presdent and the world
from the alien Easter eggs. I liked the premise of a former Nazi posing as a
South American ambassador- that was taken from “The Boys From Brazil” and that’s
a very adult reference! Kiddies in 1982 wouldn’t gotten that. That what makes
Zoo Crew so smart.
What makes Zoo Crew so dumb is character
development. There’s a alien rabbit who first arrives on earth to stop it from
the egg invasion and then he turns on the Crew and decides to conquer earth
because he thinks Captain Carrot was rude to him. It’s a lame motivation in my
book. But, look at the cover- doesn’t the alien look an awful lot like the alien
species in the Invasion trilogy? That’s an amazing coincidence if it wasn’t
intended.
Probably my least favorite
issue of the series thus far. It’s a great first half and an okay second.
Rating 6 out of 10 stars.
