Bug


The 1997 one-shot Bug is a bit of an odd beast, insofar as it's a 48-page special about a character from a series (Micronauts) cancelled a decade prior. Was there really a demand for this? Well, in any event, it's mildly amusing stuff, as the title character gets warped through time and space by Annihilus' cosmic control rod to end up being present at the origins of super-heroes like Spider-Man, the Punisher, the Hulk, and (I think) Batman. I did appreciate the five pages of Fred Hembeck-drawn "activity pages"--a nice little bonus that fit in well with the book's silly sense of humor. I'm certainly glad I picked this up for a quarter instead of the $ 4.20 (Canadian) cover price though.
