After reading the last issue I had a sneaking suspicion that this issue was sunk before it could begin. The kicker is that this seven issue series is meant to be read together in one sitting and while that’s been clear from the beginning, the series has managed a pacing that kept each issue interesting on its own.

Oxymoron has become one of my favorite comic book characters because he’s Joker-esc. The key difference being that he can actually do anything and is never held back to protect his image. I’ll let that set in for a second because DC Comics most assuredly protects the Joker’s image and has firmly placed the shackles on him since The Dark Knight movie.

It’s been a long year so I can’t for the life of me remember when Bulletproof Chicken released, but if you haven’t read it you fucking should. Bulletproof Chicken Nuggets is a prequel, a sequel and a Jason X/Heavy Metal type sequel all rolled into one… and it’s really fucking good because of that.

The fifth issue of Leftovers continues the three part story of “The War for Kaleb.” In the first chapter of the story we meet Kaleb, but the strange thing was that a yellow and blue superhero version of himself followed him around everywhere he went. We also learned that he was on medication, but this causes a problem with his new girlfriend because he doesn’t know if it’s him or the pills that have fallen in love with her. After going off the pills we see a second caped man in black and red.
