A Good Mormon

Go out and buy a few copies of the Mike Allred Solo if you haven't already. Man, it's fun. It's more fun than playing lazer tag in an abandoned building in the dark, and that's REAL FUN. The art is, of course, beautiful. My favorite story was the Teen Titans party, which is everything that Teen Titans comics should be, but haven't been (in the DCU) since the sixties or so. Get Allred on a Teen Titans title immediately. Quicker than immediately.

There's also an "Adam West" Batman story that certain walking catty stereotypes are taking personally. It's both an allegory about today's superhero comics and an examination of art and philosophy. It's also pretty and fun. Of course, it comes down on the side of "Adolescent, nihilistic superhero comics are pretty stupid." And it's also, generally, preaching to the choir. The folks who are going to agree with Allred are the ones who generally are already reading his stuff. He's right, but I didn't really need to read it. But that almost sounds negative . . .this book is incredibly fun. It is the love of superhero comics. Enjoy it.
