HULK seppoku?
L0||g$|-|0t pwnz? 4 rlz?
Jeffrey Brown writes something that has absolutely nothing to do with him being awkward with girls???
Beast goes on a stake out.
Someone gave Chris Chua a box of crayons and he doodled some completely incomprehensible garbage on a placemat and convinced Marvel to print it! (Seriously, I don't even have a clue who or what this story is supposed to be about.) Sushi? Huh?
Peter Parker has a drug problem? As in, he's not medicated enough?
The Punisher gets a violent makeover.
Hulk ascends to a higher plane of existance. Ommmmmmm.
The Avengers...are...poorly drawn!
Nightcrawler...uhhh..walks in a forest?
Namor has...crabs? And has to bow to the will of Reed? Or...was it all a dream? Or, worse yet, has Richards been writing Fantastic Four slash?
While I think this was, by far, the weakest of the Strange Tales issues, it was still a lot of fun. Well, not so much the Christopher Chua art, which is hands down the most incomprehensible garbage I've ever seen in a mainstream comic book. It has an incredibly complicated layout, and it seems that he has some idea what sort of story he's telling. I see Captain America, Thor, some shrimp? It's really out of place in this collection. It's neither whimsical, nor cool. It's just...theose pages of doodles from the promising art student who forgot (s)he was supposed to turn in their assignment, so they throw together some images. I can picture Chua standing in front of a class and explaining how all this has something to do with Wolverine's fidelity issues, and how Lady Deathstrike just never got along with her mom. If someone does have a clue what this is supposed to be, I'd love to know. Well, actually, love is a strong word. I wouldn't be completely adverse to finding out what his intention was, but I would also live a fulfilled life never coming across his work again.
I gave the art a 4, due to the Chua art and the Michael Kupperman Avengers story, which just looks like badly drawn pop art.
Art: 4 - Very Good
