Review of
Captain
Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew No. 10: Where Walks the Wuz-Wolf!,
by DC comics
Four out of five stars
This comic has
zany characters, is packed with silly puns and is a parody of nursery tales and
the superhero genre of comics. The main character is of course Captain Carrot,
a rabbit that must eat a carrot each day in order to recharge his superpowers. The
members of his team of sidekick heroes with powers are Pig-Iron, Yankee Poodle,
Rubberduck, Kat-Abra and Fastback. Yankee Poodle and Kat-Abra are female and
very busty.
The town is
Follywood and humans are but an urban myth as this group of heroes battles
Wuz-Wolf, a wolf that is somehow transformed into an extremely powerful human
form and is very similar to the Marvel character “The Hulk.” It takes all of
the combined powers of Captain Carrot and his group to stave off the Wuz-Wolf
and the main story ends with the now fleshy Pig-Iron about to go into the oven
and be a tasty meal for Wuz-Wolf.
The path from
start to end is constructed from a series of scenes reminiscent of most comic
book superhero battles, only with dialog that is amusing and at times at the
adult level. This comic is a fun read, but with very little depth.
