REVIEW:
On the plus side, it’s a delightfully simplistic time warp to DC’s early post-Crisis era. Case in point: it’s a bit of a treat to see acknowledged obscure Golden Age heroes like TNT and Gary Concord’s Ultra Man. Another intriguing element that, due to Crisis, some characters, i.e. Earth-Two’s Ultra-Humanite, might have fresh backstories still to come.
The series’ fairly high yet deliberately cheesy production values also remain consistent, including solid visuals from Brian Bolland and Erik Larsen, among others. However, by this twentieth-fourth issue, it says a lot that its headliners are the Legion of Super-Heroes’ Ultra Boy and Two-Face. All it comes down is that readers aren’t missing much, if this issue slips past them. Aside from squinting at the miniscule font size, Who’s Who’s # 24 is a decent read.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
