REVIEW:
While the glossy artwork is ideal, something pertinent beyond the voice work and sound effects is lost in translation reading the particular Looney Tunes stories. The story ideas are mildly promising, but the humor is pretty weak stuff. It’s all too reminiscent of the Looney Tunes kiddie dreck that Gold Key and Whitman peddled in their 1970’s comics. Still, this issue should briefly entertain 8-and-under Looney Tunes fans.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
There’s a two-page DC Super-Hero Girls puzzle with Poison Ivy entitled “Leaf Me Alone.” DC Comics’ Orion and Mr. Miracle each receive a full-page profile. The cover previews are for Batman ’66 Meets the Legion of Super-Heroes #1; Scooby-Doo Team-Up # 28; and Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? # 83.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 4 Stars
