Bulleteer: Morrison serves up Cheesecake with Anchovies

Finally got around to reading Seven Soldiers: Bulleteer #1. From the first page you know that this is a comic full of cheesecake (see above). But wait, this is Grant Morrison, has he ever done flat out cheesecake? No. Bulleteer has a sexy leading lady with a healthy bust, but she's a little deeper than Pamela Anderson. Her husband has invented a substance called "SmartSkin" which protects the body and provides super strength. The opening pages are jarring, as we see Alix (the Bulleteer) and her husband suffering from the first application of SmartSkin on human beings. Alix's relationship with her husband is fascinating in terms of superhero worship and the desire to stay young forever.

I love Seven Soldiers. Every time I think I have it figured out, it goes off on another tangent. At first I thought this is a brand new DC Universe that will make sense after Crisis. It couldn't possibly be in the main universe. But in this issue they show the old 1940s Bulleteer and Bulletwoman. Zatanna referred to the JLA in her series. WTF? Nuff said.
