Bantam #1<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m assuming that Lupi has put out more than two books, but I’ve only seen two, and the difference between this and her last book on forced female genital mutilation is stark.\u00c2\u00a0 “Duh” would be an appropriate response to that statement, and good for her that she has fun with comics as well as trying to inform the reader.\u00c2\u00a0 This one is all about the bad puns, so be warned.\u00c2\u00a0 Yes, it’s a Batman and Robin parody and no, the world probably doesn’t need too many more of those.\u00c2\u00a0 Things start off with Bantam on the trail of the Jerker, who is trying to shake and bake innocent civilians.\u00c2\u00a0 Bantam gets captured (and seems pretty ineffective throughout), Little Pecker (that’s his name, he’s the Robin character) gets smothered by Mother Hen, and we eventually get to the real villain.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve spared you the puns; if that’s your thing you should pick this up and you’ll get your fill.\u00c2\u00a0 It does end up being funny at times, despite the best efforts of the puns to batter me into submission.\u00c2\u00a0 That “#1” on the cover indicates more to come, but it sure seems like the story wraps itself up pretty neatly.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s cute and occasionally funny, but your mileage may vary and the very concept will give you a solid idea if this is something you’d enjoy.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh, and I JUST now noticed that my last review before Thanksgiving involved a comic with a turkey for the main villain.\u00c2\u00a0 Huzzah for unintentionally picking a theme book!\u00c2\u00a0 No idea how much this costs, so I’ll go with the random guess of $2.<\/p>\n
