Comics Review: Regular Show: Skips #4

Does this mash-up of Dr. Who and Regular Show finally come around? The jump will tell all.

Spoilers!

So it’s become do or die for the Time Lord, I mean, Time Cop and Skips. They go into their redneck TARDIS, I mean a Ranger’s station, to get some time warping equipment. They focus on getting Mordecai and Rigby away from the geyser. Pine cone football got Mordecai and the souvenir stand into the geyser. After the time watch rewound time, They stop the game, only for Benson to break out some soda and pop rocks. A bird ended up with them, and the geyser got blown up. After 115 explosions, Skips and Ted figure that maybe their attention is on the wrong person. The comic ends with them going to interrogate Benson.

For a comic about rewinding time, Time Cops, and the ilk, this comic is going nowhere. This issue is getting as convoluted as a Dr. Who episode, with less of a payoff. Ted needs to go the way of the Doctor, and die a terrible death. He went from an enigmatic figure in issue one, to an overzealous frat of a cop. He also needs to do us a favor, and not come back as Ted, but a different Ted. Just die already.

The issue just stalled. And coming off last issue, stalling at a 3 is pretty bad.   It’s going through the same incident for going on 3 issues now. I get that the story is preventing the explosion of the geyser, but it was played out after watching Groundhog Day for the 50th time. Maybe that’s what this comic. We need more Bill Murray, and less Dr. Who.
