The Complete Harlem Heroes reviewed over at my site

[Grant Goggans]

A new review today over at the Bookshelf blog.  Come read about the ridiculous-but-lovable ultraviolent Harlem Heroes saga, and how nice a job Rebellion has done re-presenting it!

As ever fantastic review Grant but no mention of one of the great over the top comic book villains in Artie Grubber?

One thing I'd not notice before is the cover stating "Official 2050 Aeroball Almanac". Nice touch.

Actually, the best thing about Artie was when the '90s revamp was running, Tharg promised a rematch with a classic foe from their namesakes' past.  From a rogues' gallery of one, I was guessing that... would be Artie, then.

Okay, that's probably not the best thing about him.  I did like the way that he talked to himself constantly.

I especially love the constant reuse of the idea that neither the Heroes nor the Hellcats have ever even seen film of the opponents of their next match

This is a great point and something I'd completely overlooked... Giant and Slim are invariably completely surprised by their rival teams! How often do we see them actually studying their opponents' tactics or coming up with pre-match plays designed to deal with said tactics? Too busy investigating shadowy conspiracies and buying robot replicas of their dead foes (!) apparently.

I had a great idea for an Artie Gruber solo strip, following on from Inferno. I think it was a good idea anyway. Maybe I should pitch it to the Zarjaz boys, if I ever iron it out a bit.

Hmph! The year should've been 2077!

With William... Shatner's... meter...
