The glossy pages of this volume offer four longer episodes of Troy and the Trailblazers, a space adventure-comedy, punctuated by shorter episodes of a half-dozen animal comics played strictly for laughs. In a predictable initial sequence (-I-m picking up a huge energy signature in the center of the Archives-), the space gang-vacuous Troy; cynical Jess; their furry companion, Barrus; and robot assistant Blip-defeat their galactic enemies, the Bioteks. But then Troy and friends are offered a reality TV show whose director bamboozles Troy into jettisoning Jess for superstardom (-Trent thinks you-re-holding me back,- Troy tells the enraged Jess) and reveals himself as Troy-s evil twin. In another story, bold, ink-heavy panels pit the manic Monkey against the placid Bunny: -All hail Destructo!- Monkey commands, assuming his latest evil persona. -Take off the helmet and stop being silly,- Bunny replies. The surreal Doug Slugman; a Despicable Me clone, Evil Emperor Penguin; a manic housecat-from-hell, Looshkin; and the genial Squid Squad round out the collection. Candybox colors, frenetic energy, and plenty of fart jokes conspire to lure readers from the screen for an evening. Ages 8-12. (Mar.)
