Instead, Kamandi Challenge is just astraightforward, high octane action / adventure romp.
Each issue is by a different creative team, and this comic gets the gold star treatment, with a story by Peter J. Tomasi and art by the legendary Neal Adams.
And I have to say, it's the best work we've seen from Adams in some time - I suspect it's because he was having so much fun.
The story picks up with Kamandi facing certain death as a nuclear weapon counts the seconds down. And that's just the start of the story, which races at top speed and never stops - and manages to incorporate a couple of completely unexpected Kirby creations, and takes our hero to the ultimate site for comics fans (sorta).
The series is a heck of a lot of fun, and that's good enough for me!
Grade: A-

Kamandi was one of those comics best read on a Saturday afternoon with an RC Cola and a Moon Pie. Just seeing the character takes me back to age 10 on a summer day.
Comfort comics!
