Ten Times Better
This is a reprint page for page of the Original Charlton Comic as such i posted the same review here as I did the original. The only difference really is the art is a little different as it is processed differently. Personal I'd rather have the original but I'll take the Modern Book over nothing.
After reading the first E-Man comic I got sick it was so bad but in issue two everything has turned around. I finally get the joke. E-man is a lot like Plastic Man if Plastic Man was a lot cooler. He is a very lighthearted hero with a comic side to his stories. In this issue he faces the Entropy Twins and for the record they are lovers and their last name is never revealed. E-man in a particular dark side for the character leaves the duo in a fate worse than death. It is a really neat story and I wish it was the whole book. With half or a least a third of the comic being taken over with a killjoy story it is left to the imagination how much better the book could have been. The Killjoy story is obviously a political statement and is really more of a political cartoon you might see in a magazine instead of a comic book. It is neat however to see a deliberately silly story and it is a neat satire. The art is what really cool and enjoyable in it's early 1070's style. I gave it three and a half stars I enjoyed it but I'm not the biggest fan of this kind of comic. If you are I'm sure you will love it.
