BONUS REVIEW by JIMMY PS HAYES
Good. But not good enough. I was really looking forward to King Tut’s 4-color review because I’m a HUGE fan of the 1960’s Batman TV show. Maybe I over-hyped myself, but this issue read like a really average Batman comic. I had 2 problems with King Tut: First: Not fat enough(I get the same thing myself)! Second-He’s supposed to be an EPIC, LARGER THAN LIFE character but DeFilipps & Weir make the character a bland, lifeless, run of the mill forgettable Batman villain. Here’s hoping that next issue picks up.
