Since the day I started reading comics I never read any kids
comics. I have heard of Tiny Titans and Superman Adventures being the best
ones. But I have yet to read them and I definitely will when I get the chance. I
was excited when I read the announcement of Batman Lil’ Gotham mainly because
of design. Yes, they look so cute! But ever since I started reading them, it’s
been okay. I think having every issue with a holiday or season theme seem to
restrict a bit. I also can’t understand why the villains are being arrested for
no reason like just having a dinner party. It just seems like they are just
getting arrested because…you know they’re the bad guys. Anyways, this seems to
be a good issue and it’s pretty funny. So, I think this one is worth picking
up.
Story
Jenna Duffy decides to take the day off to work on her
personal project. But she constantly gets interrupted by villains. So she tries
her best to avoid them or give good advice.
The Good
When I read this issue I immediately scratched my head on
who Jenna Duffy is. So I looked up on her wiki and it seems like she’s only
appeared very recently since 2008. The story pretty much tells you what she
normally does like in previous comics like working as a mechanic to fix stuff
for villains. This issue does a good demonstration of that. It was very funny
and entertaining to see her interact with numerous villains even a few surprises
like Hush, Lobo, Lex Luthor and even the clay girl who appeared in Batman TAS!
Plus, I thought her little Boston terrier dog was so adorable and it reminds me
of an actual Boston terrier I know.
The Bad
The only bad thing I could say about this issue is that we
never got to know what the personal project was. It was just pretty much
forgotten the whole time and she never even finishes it. So, I don’t know why
it’s in the issue solicit. I also couldn’t understand why she just didn’t pick
up her phone. But if she did that I guess we wouldn’t have this story. (Laughs)
I also kind of wish the next issue could have been her dealing Damian and
Batman.
Verdict
I gave this issue a 4/9 out of 5/10 stars. It’s a funny
entertaining issue I suggest you pick up. You will definitely get to see some
awesome villains you haven’t seen in the New 52. I think this issue with be
great for your child if you have one.
