The Chaotic Duo #1 mini-series

You know, this has to be one of the least chaotic comic books that I’ve ever seen. They duo decides to make some havoc, seeing as how us readers are sitting here staring at them, so they go to Antarctica. Once there, they realize that there’s not much to do and they actually might starve or freeze to death so it’s a pretty calm comic. Then suddenly they find a robot guarding a bunch of food, so Dubya decides that he has to come and blow it up. Hey, it’s chaotic, what do you expect. Overall, this one is OK, but I liked the other one better. And he’s still 13, and will be until January. Just think, he’ll probably do more comics by the time he’s 14 than Joe Matt has done yet! Not sure where that cheap shot came from, but it’s sadly true. Contact info is up there, $1.50!

The Chaotic Duo #1

Well, Matt has to be 14 by now, so I think that means he’s too old to do comics and he’s all washed up. Oh well, it was a fun ride while it lasted! This comic, as you might be able to tell from the cover, is all about chaos. It most resembles Milk and Cheese from Evan Dorkin, but he points that out himself. It’s kind of messy, but when can you go wrong by showing a couple of kids beat up clowns, mall employees, bullies, goth kids (he’s punk, you see), and random bystanders. It’s not Hamlet or anything, but it’s a fun book and putting characters in all kinds of these random situations is great practice towards his future career of being a comics mastermind by the time he’s 20. It’s $2, pretty big, and is perfectly suited towards people who can relate to some slapstick, gory humor. Contact info is up there!
