| This is one weird comic. Beginning with our anything-but-hyper hero's story. The art isn't so bad, though fortified with Raymond swipes, but the story! It lives up to the comic's name, dancing from one half-baked idea to another, plus the hero spends half the episode holding two walls apart while others act. |
