Comments:

This issue wasn’t that bad if what you’re looking for is some old school, light-reading fare. It’s fun but not too deep, with a neat twist towards the end that takes Ollie by surprise and may have him screaming like a girl to escape the over-sized, mouth breathing, Hulk wannabe Solomon Grundy and an unexpected threat.

Like I said, it’s not too deep but it is fun-- William Messner-Loebs has done a good job at writing a script a kid or even a seasoned fanboy can enjoy.

The art by Eric Battle is really reminiscent of Neal Adams and Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, with a smattering of Mark Texiera-- and that’s cool in my book.
