This edition's best example why pledging to review anything is a really bad idea. A very crudely drawn, crudely plotted, forgettable parody of superheroes starring lumpy, anthropomorphic ants (the superhero parody isn't the point of the series, I don't think, just this specific issue). I looked really hard for some sort of Beanworld-style subtext or perhaps some narrative complexity, but came up empty. That this is a 10th issue, with letters in the back and various related side projects, which sort of amazes me. I'm sure this is real, but based on quality alone I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking that the surrounding information were some kind of performance art piece.

This review was written in the late 1990s as part of a then-ongoing freelance gig; I apologize if it reads oddly or seems incomplete.
