Kid Amazo

"Justice League of America: Kid Amazo" (DC Comics) ----------------------------------------------------- This is a good, entertaining and slightly offbeat comic in which the Justice League confronts a new menace -- Kid Amazo, the cyborg "son" of one of their oldest, goofiest enemies. Writer Peter Milligan crafts a witty tale that features a college student whose philosophy-major musings lea him to consider Nietzsche's concept of Man and Superman (oh, the ironies!) in a way that is both painfully obvious and pleasantly tantalizing. Some of the team stand out more than others -- the triumvirate of Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman dominate, but others get short shrift, particularly The Flash, who is pretty wimpy, overall. Still, I liked this one - it was fun. I' like to see more JLA stuff by Milligan; he's got a nice touch. (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain book reviews)
