Yes, once again I'm incredibly late reading and reviewing these, but what are you going to do?
I have no idea why I bought this. I knew it was going to be terrible with out even opening the damn thing up and guess what? It is. This just so, so, so dumb; psychotic teenager randomly finds the Joker's face in a sewer, beings worshiping him as some sort of deity/father, has Dollmaker sew said face onto hers, shoots up the Joker's blood, Joker approves. Whatever. They even manage to fuck up the art. An entire page near the middle is randomly pixelated, like they drew that shit with PC Paintbrush...
Combine a campy 50's horror flick with an 80's teen (well...tween, in this case) film and you've got Juice Squeezers. Issue #2 moves away from the bug smooshing to focus more on the Juice Squeezers, the new kid in town, and general middle-school awkwardness, combined with the looming gigantic insect invasion. The dialogue is enjoyable, if a bit cheesy and the art is simple and cartoonish, in a pleasant way. Check it out, why not?
It's only two issues in, but so far The Twilight Zone has surpassed my expectations. I'm really liking the story's twist on the doppelganger concept, that the protagonist's double is actually the good one. There are also some sub-plots unfolding that will be interesting to see how they effect the main story itself. The art is still a little hit and miss, but if that's the worst part of this book, I can't complain. Definitely worth checking out.
