Comics Review: Simpsons Illustrated #23

The number 23 is important in basketball, but does it work for Simpsons Comics?

Simpsons Illustrated offers up some excellent variety this time around. A two-parter story with Homer vs a raccoon? When was the last time we even say a two-parter in Simpsons Comics? Almost never. That may be worth the purchase alone, but then an excellent story featuring Doctor Colossus. I personally love the Radioactive Man! strips, and for the Bongo to stick in a standalone that has one of that franchise’s ancillary characters was random as hell, but it worked. The other stuff is good, but I look for the strips that make a purchase different, and Bongo does just that.
