Ambush Bug Returns?
Posted on 02.03.08 by Widge @ 3:25 pm

Ambush Bug

Yes, apparently there's a new Ambush Bug series coming. I've called for this for years now, but the fact that it's actually happening fills me with dread. I mean, with the DCU as it stands right now, Ken and I are convinced that it's going to be revealed that it wasn't Dr. Light, it was really the Bug! And if you don't know what that means, then you're better off not knowing. I wish I didn't know.

Anyway, for those who want to relive some of the fun of Ambush Bug, or if you don't know what the hell it's all about, Again With the Comics has posted some choice pages from issue #3. Although my personal favorite is #2 where he fought a giant killer koala bear. NIKNAK!

Jamie Smart vs. Little Gloomy

Little Gloomy by Jamie Smart

You know, before seeing the latest twisted creation from Bear's dad, Jamie Smart, I hadn't heard of Slave Labor Graphics' Little Gloomy. But after checking out the Wikipedia article to get a bit of context, I think I'm going to have to seek this out. It's like Universal Monsters meets Muppet Babies or something. And any comic that has a bunny-loving character-monster named Carl Cthulhu...sold.

Anyway, you can check out Jamie's take on it here.

And now you'll know where my new phrase of choice, "Don't [insert whatever action here] unless you're ready for wild doom!" came from.
