Two stars does not mean that I thought this comic was bad. I rate based on the tooltips which says two stars is okay. Now I can certainly see why this comic is loved by many, but it just didn't do it for me. The artwork was good, but plain, and the story had excellent potential. I am certainly a fan of using a yo-yo as a weapon, but there is so much going on that you don't get to know about. The story is short, and though it doesn't necessarily feel rushed, it certainly doesn't feel complete. You don't really get to know the characters as well as you would like, which is a shame because I would like to know more about many of them.

Found this whilst clearing out my old comics. Never actually read it. It’s cute, I think it falls on some cliches (it’s the 90s?) but it’s adorable.

Great debut. It seems that Michael Allread didn't quite know what he was going to do with the character yet, but he established some fantastic stuff here. It remarkably walks between earnest silver age, goofy slapstick, and dark moody unsettling moments. The art, of course, is magnificent. The far-out disconnected quality to the writing is grounded by his simple bold plastic lines. This sets the stage beautifully for what is to come. If you are into the whole "what am I reading?" quality to it, you will be in for a treat with the upcoming trades.

I wish I would have read this years ago when it was fresh and new. It was creative and interesting, but it just didn't suck me in like I'd hoped. There's a Mike Allred documentary on Kickstarter right now, and I thought it would be good to finally check out his work. I think I have the Superman/Madman crossover around here somewhere, but I don't think I've read that, either. Everyone seems to think this is the penultimate Madman story, so should I check out the other Madman stuff?

I would give four stars to the the black and white Madman stories, two and a half stars to the color Madman Adventure ones. There's something about the tone of the earlier stories that I really liked that I thought was missing in the zanier, bigger adventures.
