I never thought I would say this but: this was a bit too weird for me. Bizarro's backwards talk was kind of confusing and then became annoying. I didn't love the premise of the story and wasn't a huge Bizarro fan (sorry). The best moments of the book were when Jimmy and Bizarro actually act like friends and showcase Bizarro's strengths (he's a great friend and has a good heart) but otherwise, the making fun of Bizarro bit made me just sad. This wasn't for me but I can see how others would enjoy this a lot. The art is well done and the writing is (for the most part) fun. It was just really odd and not right for me.

Gostei da arte do Gustavo Duarte. Mas o roteiro achei bem qualquer coisa, clichês de roadie movie com piadinhas repetitivas.

A great, quirky all-ages book that made me laugh out loud. Charming and a great buddy story. Plus I loved Colin the chupacabra.

Boo-Ray! Bizarro am terrible. Me no finish it!
^if that sentence makes no sense to you in light of my 5 star rating, you should probably get yourself to your LCS or bookstore and pick up a copy of Bizarro! This is an all ages book that can be enjoyed by grown ups and kids alike.
Bizarro is best describe by his worstest friend, Jimmy Olsen: a whirling dervish of chaos. No one can resist liking the big galoot.
The premise of the mini series is a road trip amongst the worstest friends and Bizarro's pet Chupacabra, Colin, who is arguably the best character in the story. Jimmy has an ulterior motive, to photograph Bizarro as they take a trip to Bizarro America (Canada), so that he can become rich off making their story into a coffee table book.
The story takes them through Metropolis, Smallville, the Wild West (where they encounter a literal ghost town), the desert, and alien prison. Along the way, they meet DC favorites and a pair that'll remind you a little too much of Mulder and Scully.
Some of my favorite moments:
- Love the panel where he designs his "ugly costume" in the mirror so the S is mirror imaged
- Bizarro Bats with Jimmy Robin
- Lex mart and Lexbucks
- Jimmy holding Colin in a baby sling
- SPF150 for Bizarro
The story may be hard to get into if you can't decipher Bizarro language but I encourage you not to give up. It definitely pays homage to some old school DC characters and the overall feeling of DC books. 0/10 would never read again (that's 10/10 would DEFINITELY read again for those of you who skipped opposites day in school ;))
*Thank you to DC and NETGALLEY for making this title available for my honest review. It's been on my TBR for months so this was a treat and I am ever so grateful!

In the immortal words of Bizarro, boo-ray this book am worstest and no fun at all!
I think Bizarro works best when written as a sympathetic character and this series excelled at it. It is legitimately funny and Gustavo Duarte's art oozes charm.
