The Delinquents by James Asmus, Fred Van Lente
3.0
Good laughs, good fun. The best part is probably the Big Fight, which instead of being illustrated, is a two-page spread with cut-out-able characters, and readers are encouraged to basically play out the fight however the hell they want, because we all know the good guys win and who cares?
I like that stuff. In a way, you feel just a little ripped off, but I think that the fun of it outruns the ripped off feeling, and I suppose it's better to admit that the ultimate battle doesn't mean much and going with that as opposed to cramming in a few more punches.
And strange as it is, I felt like Quantum and Woody, white and black superhero brothers who are traveling with their father, who is inhabiting the body of a pregnant goat, far outpaces the weirdness of Archer and Armstrong, a man who left a weird cult and an immortal hobo. I think the sum of all that weirdness is less that the total of its parts, which is a bit of a shame.
