I bought this collection after hearing the rave reviews for Tom King’s Batman/Elmer Fudd crossover. It lived up to the hype and then some – the author and artist play the Ed Brubaker-style retro-noir-with-Looney-Tunes-guys angle absolutely straight and allow the humor to emerge naturally, and it hits just the right notes.

I was delighted to find that the rest of the crossovers were a lot of fun as well, standouts including the Wonder Woman/Tasmanian Devil and Bugs Bunny/Legion of Super-Heroes entries. The Legion issue especially pokes great fun at the “teen soap opera” genre of comics with the retro Legion kids and their exaggeratedly overwrought dialogue and unnecessary exposition serving as Bugs’ straight men.
