Megamind: Bad. Blue. Brilliant. #2

megamind-2-coverApe Entertainment’s second issue of this Megamind mini-series gives us three more tales including the continuation of “Minion’s Day Off” where Megamind has unintentionally activated and unused plan of evil to shoot Metro City into space. Whoops! Where’s Minion when you need him? Limboing on the beach, obviously.

In “Bad Minion, Bad” one new experiments goes awry when his newest machine (designed to turn evil people good) has an unexpected effect on Minion – who becomes the new master villain of Metro City. With the help of Roxanne, Megamind tries to track down his sidekick and even attempts to replace him (in an effort to make him jealous), but in the end must face the new master of crime in battle.

The final short tale involves a field trip of school children accidently setting off various inventions in Mega Mind’s lair. Much like with the first issue of the series (but thankfully without a high school story this time around), this one should provide some fun to fans of the character – even if it is grossly overpriced for a comic aimed at younger readers. Worth a look.

Gene Colan draws the Batman’s rogues gallery

On Friday we were saddened to learn that artist Gene Colan passed away from complications with liver disease. Although most will remember him for his work on several Marvel titles including Daredevil, Tomb of Dracula, Howard the Duck, and Doctor Strange, (not to mention doing the art for Iron Man #1), I’ll remember Gene Colan most fondly for his work on a DC title in the early-to-mid 1980’s.

During my early years of reading comics Colan took over the artist duties of a title I never missed – Detective Comics. His run climaxed in his second to last issue (Detective Comics #566) in which he was given the opportunity to draw most of Batman’s current Rogues Gallery. Although the story itself was weak (Batman and Robin attempting to decipher a mysterious message by going through Bat-computer files of their most nefarious foes) it did offer Colan to go out on a high note.
