Facing jail time
for the kidnapping of Shrewmanoid, Monkeyman designs a ship to help him safely
navigate the extra-dimensional void he terms the “Terminus.” There, Monkeyman
and his partner Ann O’Brien will attempt to bring the Shrewmanoid back to earth
for justice and imprisonment. But before they can find the diminutive monster,
they duo face a creature that hails himself the leader of the Terminus.
Now, wait a
minute… Didn’t I just say that Monkeyman came up with the name Terminus for the
void? If it’s his name, why is this new bad guy calling it the Terminus as
well. Neither Monkeyman or this new foe has ever met, so if Monkeyman came up
with the word, a random stranger should know this word. Plus, O’Brien reminds
us each issue that Monkeyman had to teach himself English, so how does this bad
guy from Moneyman’s side of the universe know English or that Ann understands
it?
Geez, I’m
getting technical here, sorry. It’s a great series and I love the characters.
The art still is amazing, with this new bad buy looking like Lord Zedd on
steroids (See Mighty Morphing Power Rangers: The Movie.) Plus, Laura Allred’s
color scheme is fantastic! It’s just all of a sudden, I’m seeing things that
just don’t add up.
Also, this
series has only 3 issues, but the ending is found in Dark Horse Presents #118
(at least.) This usually ticks me off, but I had already committed to finding
all of the Monkeyman and O’Brien stories by the time I finished issue 1, so it
doesn’t upset me. I’m disappointed that the story didn’t end with issue 3, but
at least now I know where to start looking for the continuing adventures of
Monkeyman & O’Brien.
