The Ambush Bug is put on trial, but it’s not
for the crimes committed by his impostor. No, instead the Bug is accused of violating
the sanctity of the DC Universe by manipulating his knowledge that he is a
comic book character. The reality altering villain, the Interferer doesn’t like
encroachment on his turf and thus has finally found a loop hole in doing away
with the Bug since 5 issues worth of attempted murders didn’t seem to stick.
His
defense attorney and prosecutor is none other than Mr. Harvey “Two-Face” Dent. Now,
one might say that since Dent is a character in a comic and prosecutes the Bug
for having such knowledge, wouldn’t Two-Face be accused as well? No, because he’s
not manipulating reality and mocking convention like Ambush Bug does.
This
entire issue contains the most madcap trial since Alice went before the Queen
of Hearts. But I loved every page of it. This was what the previous issue was
missing- the ability to stick to the plot, mock and parody the comic book
industry, and make me laugh out loud. I cannot wait for the 6th and
final issue.
Worth
Consuming.
