Ariel Olivetti<\/strong> (DC Comics\/Dark Horse)
\nISBN 1-84576-578-8<\/p>\nCommercial instincts seem to override all other considerations in this beautifully illustrated but just plain daft Battle of The Brands from DC and Dark Horse.<\/p>\n
Apparently a colony of Predators\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 have been living on Earth since the last Ice Age, complete with a stock of Aliens\u00e2\u201e\u00a2, inside a volcano in the Andes. Via various routes Superman\u00e2\u201e\u00a2, Batman\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 and the clandestine Terrestrial Defense Initiative all become aware of them at the same time as the volcano shifts into blow-up-very-soon mode.<\/p>\n
What follows is a race against time as the heroes try to rescue the assorted monsters from the lava before they’re all nuked by the hasty humans. If this is supposed to be a tribute to all-action summer blockbuster movies then the usually excellent Mark Schultz has nailed it, for this slim tale has holes you could steer an aircraft carrier through. As a comic book though all it has to recommend it is the spectacular art of Ariel Olivetti.<\/p>\n
I fervently hope that this is the last of these ill-advised mismatched Brand Fests.<\/p>\n
