"We won't have you and your creative hair colours disturbing our neighbours"

An evil corporation called RetCo, the power of milk and brainwashed superheroes makes for one wild ride


Do you ever read something and think 'what the fuck was that'? Usually, I give a plot summary, but half of the time I didn't really know what was happening so I wouldn't be able to do this storyline justice. This book is so wacky and weird that I'm not sure how I feel about it. There are some funny moments and one-liners, and The Trinity are, well...Milkman man, Father Bruce and Wonder Wife each have their own, focused storylines, the best of which is probably Bruce's, and the weirdest Diana's. I'm not all too familiar with Young Animal (save for maybe Doom Patrol), and that's where the fatal flaw comes in. In order to get the most out of this, being familiar with DC's Young Animal seems to be a must. If you want to go on a unique journey and not understand what's happening, this is probably the book for you.
