Ambush Bug: Year None
Friday, May 16th, 2008I may date myself, but i was a big Ambush Bug fan. he was funy waaaaay before JLI. Did they ever try to recruit him? He’d have fit right in with Booster Beetle and the gang. But I digress.
DC has recruited the original Ambush Bug team (AB creator Keith Giffen providing plot and pencils with dialog by Robert Loren Fleming) to bring some of the silly back to their pages this summer. To keep the seriousness of the impending Final Cirisis at bay for at least 1 issue, DC is releasing Ambush Bug: Year None in July.
Newsarama has a great interview with Keith Giffen and he touches on plans to spoof the upcoming and past Crisis. During the 6 issue Miniseries, we see the DCU’s most recent epics (Identity Crisis, Countdown to Infinite Crisis, Infinite Crisis, 52, Countdown to Final Crisis, and Final Crisis) from the point of view of Irwin Schwaab.

His origin is disputed, although the most commonly accepted origin is that Brum-El (a historical allusion to Beau Brummel, as well as a reference to Superman’s father Jor-El) of the planet Schwab sent his clothes from his supposedly doomed planet, hoping that his wardrobe would survive, only to have it intercepted by a giant radioactive space spider. In the resulting crash, only two articles of clothing survived: the Ambush Bug suit, which was subsequently found by Irwin Schwab, and Argh!Yle!, an argyle sock with a Dr. Doom-like complex, complete with metal mask.
It should be fun and it looks ike the whole gang is there as I see Cheeks the Toy Wonder on the second page and Argh!Yle! on the last. I couldn’t ask for any more.
