The Punch ‘Ems

I’m of two minds on this one, the latest in my random grabs from the Shiot Crock #11. On the one hand that’s a fantastic name for a book, great cover and the names and descriptions of the characters inside are some of the funniest I’ve seen in my years of reading super hero parody books. On the other hand, once the comics starts it’s mostly just them all trying to get together and find somebody to punch, which is fine to set up the characters, except for the fact that Joe says this might well be it for this bunch, so what’s the point of setting them up? Don’t get me wrong, there are funny moments in here, maybe I just got my hopes up too high from reading those brilliant character descriptions. Who knows? Either way, those characters are worth the price of admission by themselves, whatever that price may be. And no, I’m not going to give away any of the names, becuase it’s the names and the descriptions together that makes it funny.
