Wonder Twins: The Fall and Rise of the Wonder Twins

Wonder Twins Vol. 2: The Fall and Rise of the Wonder Twins by Mark Russell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wonder Twins: The Fall and Rise of the Wonder Twins collects issues #7-12 of The Wonder Twins. WONDER!

In this collection, the Wonder Twins take on Colonel 86, a computer with artificial intelligence from the 1980s, bust Polly Math out of prison, bust Filo Math out of the Phantom Zone, and serve as tour guides at the Hall of Justice, among other things.

Stephen Byrne's art is slick and while it evokes memories of the Superfriends, it's still fresh and modern. His coloring perfectly complements his art. More artists should probably color their own work, honestly.

Mark Russell's writing is as it always is: he constantly poops the party and pulls back the curtain, skewering modern life on a shish kabob of cynicism. There are so many hilarious downers in this book. Even while the Wonder Twins save the world, you have to wonder if it deserves saving.

Wonder Twins: The Fall and Rise of the Wonder Twins is a fun and depressing satire of modern American life focused through the Wonder Twins lens. Five out of five space monkeys.
