Y'know, there are certain qualities to this story I kinda have to admire... The way it completely ignores the fact that it is, honestly, a pretty awful story, for a start. The hero uses pills to fuel his powers, the villain-- as you said-- is basically villainous via a whip and a can-do attitude, the whole thing is resolved with a punch in the mouth, etc.

No angst, no deeper motivations, no issue-long character sketches... just pure, distilled wacky adventure for a simpler mindset. I'd be sorely tempted to re-edit the thing (particularly the ending, which just screams "We need to wrap this up, like, NOW", but on the whole I find myself wanting to see more of this series.

If only comics were this way again (or I tried hunting down more of Al Fago's forgotten super mouse).
