Sorry to say that I didn’t enjoy this. Selfmadehero’s books are generally excellent, but this let me down. For a start, I couldn’t see the promised satire; I mean, it uses Disney characters, but I couldn’t see to what satirical end. Perhaps I didn’t get it. But no matter, perhaps I could enjoy the ‘Die Hard in Disneyland’ action.
Unfortunately not. An unsympathetic lead surrounded by stock characters made it hard to root for anyone. I found the art scratchy and unclear, and often made it hard to follow the action. By the end I wasn’t really sure what had happened or what I was supposed to think of it all.
A rare mis-step from an otherwise impressive publisher. Lovely cover, though.
