Comics Fondle

I didn’t read many comics in the 1990s, at least not during the middle 1990s, when gems like Vemon: The Hunted came out. I missed the symbiote invasion entirely. So what possessed me to read this one? Access, a desire to see Rouleau’s artwork and a sleeping girlfriend.

Venom goes skateboarding in this comic book. Well, Eddie Brock anyway. I guess there’s never any Venom on a skateboard scene. But Venom on a skateboard kind of sums up this series, which–obviously–utterly sucks. It’s probably the first Larry Hama comic book I’ve read in… ten years plus.

Hama sucks, but his dialogue’s a standard bad; the writing is unexceptional in its badness. Rouleau’s art shows promise (occasionally), but The Hunted has me wary of my preordered issue of his upcoming Metal Men.

It reminded me a lot of an episode of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” the cartoon, or at least what I think that cartoon was like.
